When we met up to discuss our photographs, at first I didn't feel nervous about being analysed but when I started talking about what I thought of Mhairi's photos I was slightly nervous because I was afraid to offend her by saying something completely wrong. However after I gave her my feedback it turns out I got her pretty much spot on, I wrote that she was always a very happy/cheery sort of person and to this I got the response of a laugh and a big grin so I knew straight away this was true. One thing I found most prominent in her photos of when she was younger was always being dressed in the colour pink, but as she got older her style and clothes seemed a little more tomboyish. I put this down to her parents choice of clothes when she was younger, because I remember the same thing when I was young and now dressed all in the colour pink is a rare occasion for me. I also got this right, about the tomboyish years as she grew up and with having an older brother that wasn't far off her age they were in a few photos together at a car racing day and out the back with the family pets, another thing I guessed correctly about her liking animals. One thing I got from a photo with her gran, which had nothing really to do with her personality and purely just observational was how much she resembled her gran, this came as a slight shock to Mhairi and she said she always thought of herself being more like the other side of her family. The only thing I got wrong was there was a photo of two girls about the same age dressed in matching dresses but different colours and I assumed it to be a cousin or sister maybe at a family party or something but it turned out to be her best friend, who looks really like her, and Mhairi then said that they were very close with one another at a younger age.
Mhairi also managed to get pretty much down to a T too, she got that I came from a middle class family and had a very comfortable childhood and that my parents where in their early 30's when they had me, which I was really surprised and impressed with. From one photo there was a clear view as to outside and from this Mhairi got that I lived in a small town and not such a built up area which again is also true. My little sister appeared in one or two of my photos , when we were alot younger, and Mhairi also spotted this with our uncanny resemblance to one another and our similar dress sense. There were only two very small things Mhairi got wrong from the photo and first was I was in a photo with my cousins dog, and I do now looking back over it look very comfortable with the dog which probably gave off the wrong impression as she had me down as an animal lover which is so off as I must be the least animal person you will ever meet! Secondly, Mhairi noticed in a few photos the decor changed as I got older and she came to the assumption that I moved house as a little girl but it was just pure coincidence that the two photographs of me slightly older where taken at my gran and papa's house.
