The overwhelming feeling of nostalgia while photographing my possessions makes me start a self-evaluation of who I am. Which I suppose is the whole point of this 'complete self-portrait' I am trying to create.
Many of the items I am photographing so far are relitively new so having a feeling of nostalgia towards them might seem a bit far fetched, however when I'm in the studio having sole consentration on one item, all memories of how the item came into my possession, why I own it, what was going on in my life when I bought/recieved it.
I should start taking note of the feelings and thoughts that come to me while shooting each item, and note them down. I feel that these moments contemplating each and every item I own should not be forgotten as I may never have this again.
Each scratch and mark on this pair of shoes brings a different memory of the occasions that they have been worn. Would I have thought of these memories if I hadn't had to concentrate on them so much during the shoot?
