Memory Recreation

This photo is a recreation of the first time I saw snow, which was when I moved to Colorado 3 years ago. I can use this memory because, unlike most of my classmates, I haven't lived in a snowy enviorment my whole life. In fact I grew up in a hot, desert enviorment so seeing snow was a shock to me, making it a very prominite memory. In order to make this photo more memory like, I used negative clarity in camera raw. I also slightly increased the black level to simulate a fading memory. I used a slightly cool temprature to convey how cold I felt at the time.
