I have been editing and I have some really good shots I think. Tomorrow I am going to mess with the temperature of some of the shots to see if it helps get my message across more. I'm feeling more confident about my project tonight. 

I am going to shoot again this Friday and hopefully I'll have enough great shots that I can start printing ASAP. 

The other day I was talking with Taylor and she gave me the idea to possible use cork board to pin my pictures to so that I wouldn't have to reassemble it all the time. It could be set up one way and it can stay that way. It'll be a moveable installation or whatever. I am going to have to plan this accordingly with how many images I end up using. 

I think this is starting to come together. I need to buy the pins I am going to use for this project too. I need to figure out which ones work best. 

I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

Once I finish editing this last batch of photos I took, I'm going to print them all out in square format and play around on my blank bedroom wall as to how I'd like them to be displayed. I will probably bring photos of my display to class with me to get others opinions on it! I'm actually really stoked about this idea, I think it'll help my project seem more complete to me and relieve some of the stress I've been feeling about this project, which is a lot. 

I am trying to keep optimistic that this project will be just as strong, if not stronger (I really hope stronger; especially since I'm putting so much of myself out there) than my last quarter long project. I just wish I had more time. I am having the hardest time finding the time and energy to work on this along with all my other class projects. As well as deal with my own personal issues. 

I know I'll pull everything together in the end though.

So I'm really struggling with how to make my photos express the emotions I am feeling. I want this project to go well and represent the impossible project to my best ability. But I feel like I am failing to do that. I don't know what to do differently or if I'm still headed in the right direction and it just won't come together until almost the very end. 

In my mind, my photos represent how I have been feeling, but maybe if I made some of them darker or with the same hint of cool or warm colors to tie them together more... I'm not sure. I feel even more lost than I've been feeling lately! 

I am in the struggle phase when I should be in my cracking down on the little things and fixing them phase. 

I think that once I finished editing my photos from Friday (and hopefully I'll get some more on Tuesday, too) then I will feel a lot better about my project and the choices I've made.

I went out and shot some great pictures on Friday! Taylor and I went together to Cle Elm and we found this amazing junk yard or rather this older gentlemen's back yard, we asked if we could take pictures of his stuff and I think I got a lot lf amazing shots. I even got a decrepite old and lonely swing!

I will post some photos later, here is a sneak peak:

I am going on a photo excursion this weekend and I think I'll get some great gloomy shots. I am going to shoot around downtown Ellensburg and possibly in the death forest. I might be able to find some cool shots there. I will also be sure to start cropping my photos in squares to give a better example of the impossible format.
