Early in my FMP, I decided to incorporate text into my project. I wanted to convey the feelings I had when I composed the pictures. Not a description but a memory, I wanted the viewer to experience the thought process behind the picture. I found it difficult at first, as some of these memories I am trying to forget or at least put to the back of my mind. I have mentioned before that I found the process cathartic which it has been, but it’s also upsetting. I did wonder if I should be doing this at all and if my relatives should see it then what would they think. I now realise that these are my personal memories, which I am entitled to as some may be imagined having seen the photograph, but I wasn’t there. The text was just difficult as composing the images. I was worried they might be too sentimental but they are truthful and that’s what’s important to me.
