Recording five- memorable places:

This is one of my favourite images I have produced from the setting shoots I have attempted. I wanted to include abstract images of places I remembered as being linked to my grandpa in some way. When I asked my mother and grandmother about areas in Jersey where they felt connections to my grandfather they both mentioned Green Island. However, this particularly photograph I think will be used in my personal section of the book. I think this is one of the places I find makes me feel closest to my grandfather. Memories are different for all individuals and they can be brought about by many various senses. My grandfather lived his entire life in Jersey therefore he always was near the sea and this is what always makes me think of beaches. Furthermore, when I was trying to interpret a way I could photograph the beach without it being another mundane typical image, I thought about the concept of abstract styles. Therefore, when I was down the beach I attempted lots of different angles, view points and patterns. However, this was the main photograph which I thought worked really well. I think the undefinable lines in the sand are ever changing and clearly represent the essence of life and the distinct nature of memory.
