One of these photographs is my own personal favorite, and the other is the one perceived as the most successful ( by a small responsive audience).
The girl under the tree was received as something no longer a photograph. Its lack of edges within its square frame ( as compared to some of the other images where the sharp lines of the projected slide can be seen) seemed to create a closed world sense of viewing. I believe also that its straight on composition drew some viewers in more so than those in the series which were shot more at an angle. Other viewers still, enjoyed the fact that some images appeared to be lit from behind, as if by a tv, and the sharp lines of the projection added to that.
The other image is one of the original few that initially inspired the whole project. For me, it is a feeling that i get from a photo that leads me to choose it. More than that feeling of nostalgia, (which of course is difficult to relate to viewers being that my memories are not personal to them) it is the light and shadow that is painted, the ambiguity, and the mystery.
i intend to further distinguish specific feelings through groupings of images, and to do so by looking within each individual image for that particular emotion.
