ive been thinking about what my box cameras mean. i think i started confusing myself by the introduction of photographs because they are all so individual (with different people, situations, places etc.) the only one thing connecting them is the camera itself. so thinking about this, the idea of dissecting the camera (that i felt would be a good development) has created a meaning in itself. 

with the photographs i was struggling to specify what i was looking at. i dont want to look at individual memories, so maybe its about the idea of "memory". the camera is present at every photograph making it the witness of each situation/ memory. by dissecting it, its as though im trying to extract the memory from within the camera rather than the memory from the photographs.
