Waste of my youth/time in London/abroad

If I was able to take my commission images in london, I would follow in the steps of Israeli photographer Amit Sha'al. - I would take printed photos of my childhood and go back to the places to see how at that moment I could of done things to change my future - I know this is a different concept to Sha'al's but I feel like I have wasted 'time' that has passed.  - 

Images of my youth 

My time in Pakistan - Going back there now after about 13 years- There would definitely be change.

Amit Sha'al speaks about the project:

"I took black and white photos from 1926 to 1979, and went across Israel to locate the exact spots where they were taken. I held the photos in front of me and shot a wider photo, when the colored 2010 reality continues where the black and white photo ends. In some places, it seems nothing has changed, but in others, the buildings have changed their purpose and the black and white people are 'planted' strangely in today's reality. The photos portray three different times: the old black and white photos, the present colored photos and the time that have passed between capturing both photos. The third time mentioned is not a visual one, but a mental and emotional dimension, filled in by the knowledge we have of what dramatic changes have happened between the two times."

sometimes its the small things such as being on holiday and not really taking in where you are -  taking in account all the history and also the fact that I didn't capture those moments. I've been abroad to Florida, New York, Paris, Chicago, Sans Francisco, Rome, Madrid, Denia, Valencia, Barcelona, Marrakech, Istanbul, Grenada and Servile. - In the future I would love to go back to these places and follow the steps of Sha'al's.
