1: Final Major Project [22.2.12]

I am starting a research blog for my final major project to document research, ideas and progression though my work.
I have chosen to look at Memory as my topic as i think it's interesting how it works and can be triggered by anything, any memory can be brought back whether it had been completely forgotten or still familiar to you.
I would like to explore both happy memories that you're glad to remember and sad or disturbing ones that people may purposely try and forget, also looking into mental deterioration like dementia. 

One of my research ideas is to take a photo each day, not necessarily a good or interesting photo but just something i'd seen that day and write about the picture and generally what i'd done or any feelings towards anything etc. Each day i'll put it away and not look at it till the end of this project, the idea behind this is to later (weeks) try and remember what i'd done those days without the photo, then look at the photo without any writing with it and try and remember as much as i can about that day again. I'll then compare the three documentations of that day. This will be to see how much i forget/remember, if i remember anything i didn't originally put down on the day and how much the photo helps to bring back memories what i'd done.
If any of this makes sense...
Here is my first one:
