Three.

I also know that I would like to make large square prints this quarter as well. I was thinking something like 2ftx2ft. I am hoping this is possible because I'd really like to make some large prints before I graduate.

The only thing is I haven't figured out how I would display these images yet. I have a lot to think about and I want to start shooting so that I don't feel as stressed out, but right now I am feeling very overwhelmed.

Two.

I am still trying to put together exactly what I want to take pictures of this quarter. I am going to continue looking to other artists for inspiration. However, I am always drawn to things that are damaged in one way or another and I have really gotten into a grungy style of photography that I would really like to play with more this quarter. I am thinking of trying to capture creepy, dark, decaying, grungy wonderfulness. I want to take pictures of my worn out shoes, broken swingsets, gross alley ways, things that I normally take pictures of, but I want to try to see them differently. I want to see them for what they are, an eye sore.

I am also playing with the idea of trying to have all my photos be linked together with color theory as well. I am still trying to figure stuff out, but I think I am getting closer. I would like this series to be a bit different then the rest of my work, but obviously not totally because I am very drawn to the things I am drawn to and I am good at capturing said things, so I don't want to stray too far from that.

However, I really want my work to be way more grungy, creepy feel to my work this quarter because I am very inspired by things that other people ordinarily find creepy or not worthy of their time. I want people to be forced to experience things how I experience them. At least that is what I am hoping will happen with my work. I am kind of just typing as I think, so I don't know if this fully makes sense, but I feel really inspired by the idea.

One.

I am trying to figure out what it is I want to do this quarter. I have a few ideas, but I don't know exactly what they are saying yet. I would really like to do large prints this quarter and I think I'd like to focus on color and texture again. I am thinking about focusing on addiction maybe? Or possibly how depression and anxiety affects ones life. I am still trying to think of the perfect thing for this quarter, especially because it is my final quarter at CWU. I am going to start researching some photographers to get inspired, because right now I feel really limited by my surroundings. I am also trying to find some fun new locations to shoot at. I think I will go on an adventure this upcoming week. I am very excited. I know I am also going to Seattle during the quarter and I am hoping to get some awesome shots while I am there, they may not work for my project though. I am not sure yet.

Obviously I have a lot more thinking, research and inspiration to work on before I figure out what I am going to do. I just know that I really want it to mean something and be my best work yet...
