Looking through my Nan's photos I found a few older ones that had turned red which she insisted never used to be like this. For me this made a visual link between ageing and the loss of memory if you think of the photo as the memory.
Id like to look into damaging photos with harsh, natural and uncontrollable methods to represent different types of memory loss and deterioration - i'd use film for this.
Also, the photo on the left, i've edited someone out of the image as they made the happy photo uncomfortable.
I love this photo of my nan, auntie, mum and cousin, now it has a completely different feel to it after edited it.
Our brain tries to get rid of unhappy and painful memories, though photos could remind us they are there. Tampering with a photo like this is like choosing which memories you want to keep and want to forget.
