- What does your photo essay convey about the history or present day culture of Somerset or Berkley? The photo essay shows a mixture of the past and present.
- What subjects or subject matter (or places or people) illustrate(s) your idea? Old photos of the town and new photos recreating the old photos.
- How did you edit, manipulate or sequence your photos to convey your idea for this final photo series? I overlayed the old and new photos to match up and show a coming together of the past and present.
- Select one of the photos in your series and tell how you composed and edited the photograph. Photo 1: I went to the same spot the old picture was taken, held it up, and lined myself up the best I could. Then I put both photos into photoshop and scaled them to match each other, then lined up the images and changed the opacity of the older one (the top layer.)
- Thinking of Somerset and/or Berkley's rich historical past, what do you envision for the town's futures? What is next? The town will probably stay the same, maybe build some new buildings, but not much will change.
