The video takes as its starting point the photographic archives of the Thistle Foundation and Craigmillar Festival Society. Rather than examining the facts and details of the photographs held in the archives, the narrator uses them to recall her own memories of making black and white photographs as a teenager. The tendency to relate to the photographer rather than the subjects in the photographs leads her to question her own position of privilege in image making and beyond.
