I have begun to put some ideas together on a mind-map about creating a set of photos that explore 'haunted' locations around Sussex. These places are linked to that past in a way which I find fascinating, and I feel that experimenting with ways of representing 'hauntings' within photographs using photographic techniques and photoshop would widen my skill set and allow me to explore the meanings behind photography. For example, in the book 'Ways of Seeing', Berger discusses the ways in which photography can link us to the past, stating that an image becomes a "record of how X had seen Y... increasing consciousness of individuality, accompanying an increasing awareness of history." Using this idea, I can use photography as a medium to connect people to the historical events of cultural locations around Sussex.
