For my creative project, I decided to make a photo book composed of photos from the town I grew up in. I also want it to be a self-reflection of my childhood and how it made me the person I am today. As you might guess, this will be an emotional journey but I hope those feelings will fuel my creativity and enhance the project as a whole. I’m still in the pretty early stages of this book. So far, I’ve taken about half of the photos I want to and I plan to take the rest in the next week or so. I’ve figured out specific locations to visit, but I also just want to walk around the area and see if anything else catches my eye. Also, I narrowed down which company I’ll be using for my book and started thinking about potential formats. Something I’m struggling with a bit is understanding my emotions about visiting these places again. I think I’m experiencing a lot of conflicting emotions and that makes it harder to coherently write about my memories. But, I want to just let myself feel everything and hopefully, that’ll help me reflect.
