I still would like to make my journal stop-motion. It would kind of look like this, I hope… only animated.
Today
I started working on my video. I’ve decided to do it on my Grandfather and his obsession with Genealogy. I found his No.1 Kodak pocket camera a few months ago and have been trying to find film for it/a place that develops 116 film. My dad got me a lot of old pictures and notes my grandfather took, including the 3 inch book simply on Pattersons and our family tree back to the 1600’s, back to when we were still in Ireland/Scotland. I photographed (slightly poorly) a lot of grandpa’s objects and old pictures of great great cousins and grandparents and it all started to become very fascinating to me. Where I am now and why. There was a very good chance I could have been raised in Ohio, Missouri, or even more likely - Iowa. Weird. I could have been an Iowan? And that’s just small. I could have been born in a different state, yeah. But I could have been born in Scotland or Ireland, too. 4 generations back, and that’s where my relatives were. Scotland and Ireland. But then again, my grandfather would have never met my Dutch/Swiss grandmother and then my father wouldn’t exist to meet my Italian mother and then I would definitely have no chance at existing. At least I, as me now, wouldn’t exist. Maybe I would be someone else.
This is trippy. I don’t want to think about this anymore.
