#11: A distinct place from my past is the Muskegon State Park. I have several pictures of the campsites and lake we would stay on. This place was beautiful and serene. Happy families could be seen everywhere enjoying their time on their individual campsites along the hills of the campground. There was an extremely large staircase you had to walk down in order to get to Lake Michigan. The lake was always clear and a deep blue-ish green. If I were to go back I would take more scenic photos along with more photos of my family spending time together. I have not been back in years, but I imagine the place would not have changed much over time. I think it would appear the same to me now because it is still such a significant place. I would be standing in several locations: the beach, the campsite, the ice cream shop, and beside the firm. My family would be there along with our trailer. I see colors of nature such as shades of green, blue, and brown. All the campsites are always full of other people enjoying nature.
#12: I have a clear image of a photograph of me as a baby and my dad is holding me in his lap. He is sitting on our old lazy boy recliner that we no longer have. He also has less grey hair and a mustache, which he has not had for over half of my life. The photograph just has an early nineties feel by the furniture and clothing my dad is wearing. This photo has always been a fond one of mine. I’m extremely close to my dad so it means a lot to have that photograph. The only thing that has changed is that we have become closer over time and can relate more than the fact that I’m his baby. Our living room has changed a great deal over time; we no longer have the same furniture or carpeting. A reenactment of the photo would probably just be me sitting on my dad’s lap. Obviously I would look a great deal different, but it would have the same meaning.
#13: A way in which I encounter human interactions with nature and the physical land is through the trails we make in order to go the shortest way possible. I think it would be interesting to photograph several of the paths created by everyone on campus. It would be difficult to do, but if paths could be made inside a building such as making dirt trails inside, that would be an interesting concept to do.
#14: I think the faraway place would be displayed as a more fantasy like image, something far from reach or almost non realistic, and whimsical. The familiar image would have a homey feeling and probably always inside a place. Places that are difficult to reach such as the sky or mountains like Mount Everest. It would be neat to photograph them in a helicopter to give the idea that you still are not as close as you would like to be and that those locations are still far from reach.
#15: I would most likely photograph my home, which has been my only home as a child and then my current location or a desired place I would like to live. I think these two images would tell a narrative of my progression as a person. The locations are not just about where I have lived, but more about who I was then and how I have matured in order to be living in a new location.
