Finally been told more about the Final Major Project, and figured it was about time that I started looking into what I wanted to do and where the ideas come from.
I recall most recently seeing a project that photographer Irina Werning took upon herself to do. A basic idea of " Back To The Future" where she will find an older picture of her model, whether it be a baby photo, or a school photo, and then re-create the scenario, the clothes and everything else to make it exactly the same bar the age, and you can see how much these people have changed.
I find the concept interesting. To see how people change, almost wishing you could find what causes some of these changes, what events they'd been through in their life and if they really thought they'd changed so much.
Though I'm unclear on exactly what I'm going to do with my FMP, I know this could easily have some influence in it, with its simplistic idea done well.

I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today... A few months ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future.
2010 ONGOING PROJECT...
by the way, this project made me realise Im a bit obsessive... [Ref: Irina Werning, http://irinawerning.com/back-to-the-fut/back-to-the-future/, 2010]
