I been plotting down a number of ideas that i could use for my Reflection photography project and have finally come to some conclusion of what i would like my work to be based around. Before this idea i had a number of other ideas, one that consisted of revisiting old photos of myself and reenacting that event with my present self, but then as i thought about the idea more i realised that, yes i may have a few photos in mind that could be possible reenactments but would it be identical to each other is were i came to a halt.
This was one out of the five pictures i was planning to revisit, I asked my mom what she thought about the idea and although she liked it reminded me that i do not have the same soft toys in that picture anymore and at that point i had to come up with another concept.
I then moved onto an idea that revolved around old toys and new toys of todays generation and they are all some way or the other smart electronic device instead of a simple box of legos or even just a toy car. idea behind that was to use the series of five photos to show a development in time, the different ways in which children's toys have evolved through time and what each individual looking at the photo would identify the toys they would of enjoyed playing with. But yet again this became a problem due to the facts i wanted toys from all different eras in time to show the development in products.

You can see how this may cause a problem in terms of visiting and researching the numerous d
istinctive toys. whilst going through this selection process i realised that my ideas resorted around the issue of change and the development of objects. So i decided to look into how our lives have changed through the digital age of technology and thought the subject of smart phones might be a good way to come about this. I have come up with the idea of showing how our phones are able to produce many different task that we once had to use separately i.e. Camera, alarm clock, internet etc.
what i plan on doing is displaying all the these various functions on the screen along side having the more traditional object next to it, for example having the iphone map app displayed next to an A-Z booklet.
