ive been thinking a lot about how the audience will not only read into the camera components but also what its displayed on. i initially thought about a clean white plinth but this is to clinical and although in a gallery i didnt want it to look like it had been presented for this. i wanted it to have a feel of someone investigating this camera remembering a time gone by and there memories, for there own interest. this is why i completely dismissed the idea of having it in a glass cabinet, far to museum like.

thought about a work bench but think that may give the impression of a less valued object and wanted it to look like the parts were being examined/investigated not pulled apart. this led me on to decide on a work desk as someone sits down and studies in an environment of 'think' which has more of a sense of contemplation and calm then a workshop.

i think the old desk that i chose works really well with the camera as its in keeping with the idea of history and the past. also my choice of text (my grandads) relates because of the handwriting, as handwriting of young people today looks completely different to that of my grandads generation. i think all of these factors contribute to the overall feeling of remembering and that an individual has examined each component in order to visualise a time past
