As a photographer who tends to hop from one genre to another (see previous post on genres), it’s not uncommon for me to forget about some ideas or inspiration then come back to them when they resurface. I’ve tried a few different ways to organise thoughts over the years to try not to lose anything good, including notebooks etc but the one that’s actually proven most useful was Google keep. I think this is largely because I can’t misplace it and I tend to get ideas at random times, so having a physical notebook that isn’t always with me never worked out (although the idea of a nicely bound collection of ideas is appealing). But returning to the topic at hand, I recently saw a few things that reminded me about the surrealism genre, one of the early things I dabbled in and it prompted my to go back and look in my ‘keep’ to see if I had any undeveloped ideas, which I did have. So I decided to realise some of those ideas, to varying degrees of success…
