Choosing a photograph

Many of you will inevitably ask us, so what type of photograph will be acceptable for this project?

Let us show you a few examples.

A photograph depicting my grandmother (middle row, on the extreme right) with her teachers and fellow classmates in a university in Manado, Indonesia. This picture was most likely taken between 1930 and 1935, before Indonesia gained independence from the Dutch, which explains the Dutch professor in the picture (top row, on the extreme left).

This is a picture of my mother (on the left) with her best friend on a trishaw in Jakarta, Indonesia. This was taken in the year 1974, when Suharto was the President.

Therefore, as long as your photograph has a some form of historical significance and you are able to trace back to its origins and the events that took place that year, it should be acceptable.

All the best in choosing the right photograph!
