There seems to be a few interesting projects on the horizon that next years students are going to be working on, involving history and documentation on Burton on Trent.
To test some ideas and generate a bit of creativity we were out in Burton town centre armed with historic photographs. Our aim was to recapture these photographs as they are now. In the way that the Museum of London have created a map of old photographs that could then be seen via interaction with a smart phone.
What I found really interesting was being at a location with the old photograph and trying to figure out where the photographer must have stood to take it. Where they stood up, shooting at eye level, knelt down, standing on a wall that was no longer there?
