A day of scanning

Yesterday I was super busy scanning in interior design photographs from books in my university library. This was mainly for research but I also considered that if I couldn't find suitable locations for my photographs, I should make a sort of collage and photoshop my family members into the image. I personally like to have everything in my images to be my own, but for this project to pick up speed and go somewhere I need to try new things out.

Some of the images I found, looked like rooms from a show house. I want that mug of tea on the table, the cushions not plumped in there usual position and the beds not perfectly made. I need identity that someone actually lives there and it isn't a show house.

I may have to scan them in a high quality because if these photographs are going to be enlarged, I do not want the low pixels to prevent me from doing this.
