So, it turns out that finding old images of the Norris Green estate isn't that easy, especially in any great number. Therefore I have decided to move out of the area where I grew up and into the city centre of Liverpool. I have found a number of images online that I think will be suitable for me to re-photograph. But my first attempt at re-photographing hasn't been in Liverpool, I decided to test the process whilst I was in Chester, shooting my emulation project. I figured this would be good practice and I own a book that contains a lot of old pictures from Chester.

I decided to keep the modern day images in keeping with the old images therefore they are also black and white, I felt that by doing this, the viewer is more inclined to give the images more thought as there is no immediate eye catcher (as there would be if one image was in colour.) I found alligning the images at the point of shooting was a little difficult, buildings don't move but they do change as do pavements and fixtures. I tried my best to combat this whilst shooting, but some cropping and rotating has been done in photoshop afterwards.
