Blueberries & Apple Trees

When we are young we do not realize how meaningful our time is as well as the people around us. For me that was my grandpa Clarence. My memory of him slowly depletes as I get older while his memory of me was almost gone by the time he had passed. Even though regular memory loss and the sad disease that is Alzheimer’s are different, my grandpa and I sadly have the same blurred memory of before he was sick. This photographic series shows the lovely memories shared together by me and my grandfather and how they have faded over time using a process of physical photo manipulation by printing on the backside of photo paper and then using objects that are present in each image to play with the ink. I then placed objects on top of the images and re-photographed them giving them a sense of physicality.
