When thinking of photography to do with the idea of 'memory', I came across an interesting website called 'http://disposablememoryproject.org/'. The website itself was an ongoing global photography project. The websites bio states that:
'Since April 2008, we’ve been leaving disposable cameras in public locations around the world. Each camera contains a message, inviting its finder to pick up the camera, take some photos and then pass it on. At the end of its journey, the camera is returned home, and we upload the photos to share with its followers.
In the three years since that first camera, people across the globe have taken part, either through finding an existing camera, or creating a new one to introduce into the project. We’ve visited over 75 countries, released over 410 cameras, and travelled over 500,000 miles – that’s to the moon and back.
Of those 410 cameras, we’ve had 30 return home, with amazing images, stories and journeys' The idea of lots of photo's coming together, that all have different meanings and memories behind them fascinated me. The idea of a shared memory I also found interesting because others can share that memory together rather than it just being someones individual memory.
