Back in September 2011 I went to New York, Boston and Salem on holiday. Being a student I only had an already battered point and shoot digital camera, which I then managed to drop towards the end of the trip. It didn’t work after that.

When I got home I tried to download and view the photos but the files were glitchy and corrupted. Some of them were lost entirely, some were fine and some were what you see below - intense colours, randomly stitched together, slivers of other photos.

I still like looking through them because they are a bit like memories themselves. They remind me of my trip, but in a distorted, clumped-together way.
