This is one of my favourite possessions, I found it in a girl’s photo album, from the 20s. The text on the back says “Som du ser, ligger det en hörlur och väntar på dig”, “As you can see, there’s a head phone waiting for you here.”
Here are some more thoughs/decisions of mine regarding this project of mine.
Structure
+ I made a Flickr collection for it here and added my vintage photos to it as they are things I’m sure I will keep.
+ I will take all the pictures the way I take merchandise pictures for my site.
+ I will rate things in some kind of a efficiency & use/affection-value-scale.
+ I will have to give a reason for wanting to keep the things I want to keep. The reason should be valid to myself, that is my main concern. Other people questioning me on this is interesting though, go ahead if you want to, not sure how much it will affect me in my decisions but still.
+ I will probably not photograph every tiny thing. Example: needles, I will not photograph each needle. I will however count how many needles I have and list that along with a photo of the tin jar they’re in.
+ I like the idea of having an exact count of every single item in my possession and this is the goal of it all I guess. That, and to narrow the amount of things down a lot also. And to document it, and to have to justify every thing in my possession.
