11) A good memory from my childhood is the fort that we used to have in my backyard. When I was younger my brother and I would play all kinds of games in this castle or fort. I do have pictures of this place. If I were to go back and photograph this place though it be lit by natural light shining in through the unprotected roof and large windows found in the towers. In this photograph I am climbing up the ladder above my sandbox peaking my head through the floor of the castle looking at my big brother. Other items up there with us would be some random toys and a deck of cards. Obviously my brother would be up there with me. I see mostly brown/tan colors consuming the wood of the fort/castle. My brother and I would be wearing very vibrant colors. It was fall and in this photo you can see the floor of the castle covered in fall leaves. Good memories were born here, and I wish I still had this fort/castle today.
12) The photography that I remember the most is probably from a family portrait during the fall. This was the last time my entire immediate family was together. This photograph makes me extremely happy and is quite depressing all at the same time. I have grown up quite a bit, it has been twelve years since then, and have matured. The place where our photograph was taken was just infront of a forest. Sadly this forest has been torn down for commercial use. I really wish that a reenactment of this photograph could take place. If it was possible I do not think I would change a single thing about it.
13) I think it would be really interesting to make a human-made space of an abandoned old theater. The architecture would have to be of the Art Deco period. If someone added some type of vegetation that was growing throughout the entire theater, and make it possible to walk through this space I believe that it could be a very successful man-made landscape. I do not believe that one photograph could do a place like this justice, so a series of images would have to be taken. Mostly these images would just be of the interior, and exterior in which the viewer would see the vegetation sprouting from within. Human interaction here would be very important through various senses such as sight, touch, and smell. Being able to walk through this space creates another aspect in which is able to be experienced.
14) A familiar place would be depicted in everyday sight. Perspectives that are common for people see. While photographing an unknown space, perspectives would not be as important. Take the perspectives of a grocery store of looking down the isles compared to that of Antarctica. Antarctica is only seen by most people on television or the internet and from an aerial perspective due the uncommonness of Antarctica and human contact. Places that have not been touched much by humans can depict the natural beauty of the landscapes that was created for us. For familiar spaces such as a grocery store we are looking more at an artificial beauty which is much different than natural beauty.
15) The first place from my past would be of playing catch with my brother when I was younger. In the present it would be that of my sister and I driving around looking for little hole in the wall places to eat. If I could some how merge these two events together I could see a story of the three of us on a journey to a place that we all remember and have great memories of. This place would probably be Lake Michigan where we spent many summers together camping. This relates to who I was back then because it is something that we used to be able to do together. It relates to me now, because I hope one day, when I do have children of my own, help create great memories such as the ones my parents help provide for us.
