Poor Images

I first thought of the aesthetic of looking at old digital photos and how due to the advances in imaging technology and greater resolution, the old photos often appear blurry and small. So I decided to go into my facebook for some old photos. I found a photo I uploaded over 10 years ago that depicted my friends and I, with the reflection of other friends taking the photo. Taking a new photo of that picture on my monitor I was able to see a reflection of my current surroundings similar to the mirrored reflection in the original photo. Repeating this process with the new capture established more visual feedback with the original image quality as well as the reflections in my own monitor. Enter sentence about time and place and the reflections of it here 😉
