Project 4 ideas

 I've got no photos to show, as I've been using this class period trying to come up with any sort of idea that is both sequential and not dumb. I've decided that I will do a series of photos, lined up on a grid to display the passage of time. 

I had a lot of ideas, but this is the one I've settled on. My idea will focus on a set of keys and what happens to them to make them lost. I'll have the actual work posted tomorrow.

    That sounds fascinating tbh. I'm interested to see how you depict the life of these keys on their own and the tone of the photo series. Any idea how you want to use photoshop to set the tone?

    Nice decision to take something simple within our everyday lives and turn it into something that can become engaging.

    I don't know if you'd classify this as "dumb," but, what if you took your narrative into a slightly absurd route. For example like a dog snatches the keys, takes them outside, a squirrel finds them, and then a bird takes them, etc, etc, and then somehow they end up back at the house?

    I think this is a really good idea. I think focusing on an item that is usually overlooked is a really interesting take on this project. It reminds me a lot of losing socks in the wash - they just disappear. In your idea I think it would be super cool to explore where they go when they're lost. Kind of like Yesenia said in a comment above, it would be cool to see them go somewhere fantastical and follow their journey through your narrative. Maybe they go somewhere surreal and are found and kept by someone else - thus continuing the cycle?

    It sounds like a good idea. I would look into making it into a video or maybe somehow stitching them into one long photo

    What a great idea! I'm excited to see what you come up with. How do you plan to put the images in motion? And how is the key going to represents the passing of time? Your idea reminds me of a lot Salvador Dali's persistence of memory with the melting clocks.

Project Two Iconic Photo

I chose the photo of Thich Quang Duc burning alive as my iconic photograph because three ideas on altering the image significantly jumped out right away. One of these images will be the car by itself, with the flames bursting from the hood. Another will be of Thich Quang Duc sitting by a body of water, the dark area of fire next to his face patterned on a cliff wall behind him to make a water reflection-like pattern. Another will be using the monk on the left of the image as a base for something, I don't know yet. And the final image I will make will take the same monk from the left and have him taking the gasoline can to his car, with a new setting outside of a gas station to give the illusion that his car simply broke down and he had to walk to purchase more gasoline.

So far, my main themes surround the cycle of creating art. Personally, I get motivated in more of a "do it or don't" sort of way; I generally wait until I have an idea to start creating; unless of course, I've had some booze. This is a bit of a self-destructive cycle, and that is sort of the idea I want to capilate on.  The one word I want to focus on is "self-destructive". This has been partially inspired by the idea of the tortured artist, as most artists are known for their legacy and the works they create when their life is full of strife, divorce, drinking, drugs, or infamy.
