Pocket Memories
Memories are a very unique sensation. Sometimes you can
remember the most embarrassing day in 1st grade when you called you
teacher mom at the age of 20, but you cannot remember what you studied the
night before during a stressful test. People recollect memories everyday of
there life. It can be in conversation and thought or in practice and training.
At the age of 23 I was lucky enough to go on tour across
North America and Europe in the span of 3 months. I have many memories of
everything, from driving 10 hours straight in a van to running a show in a
Berlin. But the one memory that stood out was my friend’s Johnny oppression
with disposable cameras. Everywhere he went he had one. The multiple cameras
provided a great lense to what the tour looked like for Johnny. He took of 200
photos in the span of 3 months and seeing the result of all the photos was
great. The photos looked way more organic in nature when it came to the
composition. The faces and expressions looked a bit more natural less forced.
It was a great project with a great final result. This inspired me to come with
the idea of “Pocket Memories.”
We all live. Everyday we live. Our lives though are
different. We all live different lives. We walk, talk, and live different
lives. Seeing though is what we want to focus on. If we gave 100 people a
camera with one shot of film left and asked them to shoot the most beautiful
thing in the world we would get different things from everyone. Pocket Memories
is trying to get people a lense to show the world what they do and how they
live. Who are there friends, Where do they hang out, what does there house look
like, and etc. We want to reach out to as many communities as possible from
city to international. We want to see the world though the lense the world
creates.
