Nipping back a tiny bit, At the childhood memories idea... I found Nancy Rexroth.
From 1970 to 1976 Nancy Rexroth completed Iowa, a series of images that evoke her memories and dreams of childhood in the Midwest. Working with a Diana camera, she embraced its defects — irregular exposures, bent perspective and blurred focus. As Nancy explains, "The Diana's made for feelings. Diana images are often something you might see faintly in the background of a photograph... sometimes, I feel I could step over the edge of a frame and walk backwards into this unknown region. Then I would keep right on walking...
I absolutely adore these Images.... they feel as though they're actually 'old' photos....there's an eerie atmosphere about them, a bit ghostly, which I like! I think the diana camera is absolutely perfect for this type of work, looking back into the past...
