combing unnoticed moments to create one scene

because i struggled to get photographs that captured scenes/moments that communicated the feeling of nostalgia, comfort etc. i thought about creating a scene made up of moments i have seen in photographs i have found (not my own). this would create a made up scenery, as to not copy a specific persons photograph but would still look like a ordinary day. i would want the scene to look ordinary to begin with but through use of media i will hopefully make the moments stand out against the scene/background context.

application: i could apply this to the form of a concertina booklet so the scene would be separated into pages to emphasise on specific parts but when opened it would carry on the scene adding to the context,like a map, or panorama of a street view.

To emphasise the concept of celebrating the ordinary and unnoticed, i had the idea of partnering up the images with quotes when i wanted it in the form of a book, however when thinking about in the form of a ongoing scene in the concertina, i think adding quotes within the scene would confuse and distract attention away from the illustration. i could just use one quote to name the concertina or potentially still add all the quotes onto the back of the concertina, therefore also solving the problem of decided what to use on the back pages. 

Application into the world: taking crops from the scene teamed with certain quotes. i would use the illustration to advertise the launch of the book in the form of posters that could sit in bus shelters, billboards - anywhere that is back in the environment that the original moments could of happened. i also would want to create post cards that could sell or stamps as i think this adds to the concept of celebrating the everyday, as you would usually send a postcard to someone of a scene you rarely see so its extraordinary and you want to celebrate it.
