This project represents childhood perceptions of place-based memory and distance. Dashed lines represent walking distances with comments on the methods of travel and perceived length. Images are sourced from either a recent visit to Philadelphia this past January or a family/childhood archive. In some cases, these photos are compared to display discrepancies in my own childhood memory. A number of illustrations represent place-based memories that I find to be particularly entertaining and strange to have remained in my memory for so long. I did my best to spatially orient each of the locations according to my childhood understanding of their geographic relation to one another.
Instructions for Map Navigation:
1. Open the image to full-screen size on a computer.
2. Zoom to the point where images are visible and text is legible, from there, do not zoom out or in further but navigate through the image by swiping around.
