50 Images v 2

Scratched my initial selection for the 50 images project, it was mostly images of family or locations I had taken. I was thinking I liked them because they referred to specific eras or events that bring me positive memories or locations that are so far from the everyday that they seem a little sureal. Miao said all photos have memories and I should maybe just have 1 for my family, despite the 50 images supposidly being a "personal" assignment it did make me realise my initial analysis was a little thin. It is hard to tackle this 50 images assignment and stay away from superficial things in common/connections between the images.
I've started collecting the images again using the revolutionary Google, using words that I think define areas of interest for me; comedy, fantasy, power, surreal etc.. I know what interests me but the assignment from what I have deduced is about analysing your own aesthetic, or thinking beyond the simple like/dont like. Even after speaking to several fellow MA Animation students I'm still a little confused, it seems so easy yet at the same time so hard to make myself convinced that my images will be taken "seriously". Perhaps i'm better suited to stricter guidelines.

As I collect images from the internet as well as the huge bank of images I have saved on my various PCs over the last 5 years for no reason apart from the fact I liked them I do start to slowly realise some connections. Just from the first 15 I'm starting to notice that all the images have a specific subject/object that is the focus of the images, not many are cluttered and the "magical" colours I mentioned in my Negociated proposal that I use in my work also seemed to re-appear in images I like, a lot of blue/teal/violet.
