One of my Grandpa’s most curious collections comprised old Kodak 126 film boxes, each neatly unfolded, held together with a rubber band, and placed inside a worn, faded green plastic bag hidden in the back of the freezer. On the outside of each box, where Kodak had printed 'Develop Before' together with the film’s expiry date (a practice that dates from the 19th century) Grandpa had circled the date in pen. I was compelled to photograph the boxes using a modified Kodak Instamatic, expired chemicals and a scanner, making ‘portraits’ of autobiographical memory.
