This weeks topics of Repeat and re-photography were both familiar concepts to me as I have used the process of re-photography in my work as the manager of the Museum of Bath Architecture, using archival images to research locations that have changed over time, visiting those places and re-photographing from the same vantage point. I have found this to be a very powerful tool in educating visitors about the loss of building from either bomb damage during the blitz or invasive developments in the late 1960s and early 1970’s (known as the sack of Bath).

A street through time, was a talk I gave to a number of heritage societies, and looked at how the archival images held at Bath Preservation Trust could be used to document the changing topography of a city. The images of Balance Street in Bath show the various stages from an occupied Georgian terraced row of houses in 1963, a BPT researcher visiting resident prior to eviction in 1966, the demolished street in 1972 through to my image of what we have today. The street is almost unrecognisable.

I have recently started to experiment with a number of images I took as part of my project, looking at emotion responses to isolation and separation. Each image uses a different colour filter applied that is representative of an emotional colour. At this stage I’m not sure if I will gone down this route, however what is evident though is that this process need further development by rephotographing certain portraits using alternative lighting methods, colour gels etc.
