Plan

Photograph old images around Nana’s house of theme relating to old photos of my family and grandad. Re-photograph prints of imgaes Nana has, my Dad’s old family album and look online for any photographs of my Grandad

The conversation I had with Nana whereby I asked her a few questions about my Grandad a week ago has inspired me to look into aspects of my Grandfather’s past, and therefore I decided to exploe old archival photographs that relate to my Dad and Grandparents in thee.

Evaluation

This shoot has been a very interesting one. I find I have learned a lot more about my Grandad and the life he lived by looking at these old photographs. In additon, these photographs have helped to illustrate different aspects of my previous conversation with Nana.

Here are the photographs I found…..
