In general, environment refers to the surroundings of an object. The environment in these photographs have changed drastically over time. Although it is just shown in the background it is still an important part of the image. Where people choose to take a picture says something about both the people in the image and the people that took the image. Going back to these same environments to see how they have changed over time is another part of this project.
“You see, it's never the environment; it's never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events - how we interpret them - that shapes who we are today and who we'll become tomorrow.”
Tony Robbins
“We begin to see, therefore, the importance of selecting our environment with the greatest of care, because environment is the mental feeding ground out of which the food that goes into our minds is extracted.”
Napoleon Hill
