thoughts about exhibiting

I need to think about exhibiting this body of work, i'd thought about making some sort of family album to fit the theme.. but i havent got time to make a template and send it off, and also think it'd be a bit too cheesy and cheap (?)

however this book looks nice, but a bit too fancy i reckon.

I think if its to fit the theme of family ties/family tree, and with it being a satirical piece then i'm thinking id like to frame them all and put them on a wall.
Im thinking different frames, no one the same and having them sorted out at random (whilst still in pairs) on a cream/white exhibit wall.

thoughts

Im so pleased with the way my project has turned out, I'm so happy with my final shots its unreal. (and so glad i ditched that back of head idea!)

I dont want to go on and evaluate just yet, but ive really enjoyed doing this body of work. Working with mums and daughters and seeing what their relationship is like has been a breath of fresh air.

mom and i part II

After seeing those photos of my mum and i when i was younger has hit me in a weird way. I completely forgot that once i was someones baby and little girl, as strange as that sounds. Since becoming a teenager and starting secondary school i haven't been that close with my mum, we've always had silly arguments and tears over the most stupidest of things. In the past few years we've gotten over those tantrums but we're still not as close as other people i know are with their mums (my mum included).

So I'd like to do a piece on other people and their mums, strictly mums and daughters though.
I want to be intrusive like i was taking those dinner photos and see what their relationship is really like behind closed doors.

i love these photos of my mum, i cant believe how beautiful she was when she was younger. she's always going on about how she wishes she was younger, and skinnier and didn't have this and didn't have that. Its kind of made me think that I'll be having these thoughts when I'm a bit older most likely, wanting to relive my youth and all that malarkey. On a wee bit of a serious note, its kind of made me realise how young i am.. when i mentioned previously i was thinking about being old cos I'm no longer a teenager, I'm my mums age in these photographs.
its a scary thought.
