Many of us carry personal archives with us every day in the form of photo albums stored on our smartphones. I defined my archive as images taken on my iPhone during a set period of time in a particular place. These parameters were defined as the years 2014-2108 and only photography taken in the city of Covington, Kentucky. Through the process of re-creating the narrative of these images I was able to see that I had captured the gentrifying transformation of a city and how place-identity and myth-making formed and changed our representation of ourselves. The resulting reconstructed narrative is a product of archival research and autoethnography, which touches on themes of place-identity, belonging, and myth-making.
