For this project I started at looking at different photographers that I thought would help me make my project better. As I am planning to photograph something that I do myself, which is travelling I thought it was a good idea to research photographers that used a diaristic approach. The reason for that is that I will be keeping a diary as well.

A photographer that I have found that has used a diaristic approach is Gerry Badger. Following are a few quotes that I have found on his website that I thought I should share here as they relate to my project:

Hard Memories – Anders Petersen’s and J. H. Engström’s From Back Home

 ‘The land between Klarälven River and the chestnut tree at Ekallén is full of little hard memories of sad and lonely times, but there is also a streak of warm confidence that runs all the way up to Algsjörallen, a place of fairy tale creatures and inquisitive moose. I am carrying my camera, shooting those old dreams through the foliage. It means my memories can never be destroyed, because they no longer end in themselves.’                                         Anders Petersen

‘Maybe you can’t really go back home/ But this is where I’m from./These images pay homage,/ to the people and landscapes that are my origins./ I’ve returned to something my body and emotions recognize.’                 J. H. Engström
