Last week our thesis proposals were due and I was kind of up in the air on what exactly I wanted to do. Taking 5 classes this semester and in the spring is a heavy load for me to take on because three of them are actually studios. I feel like Im not able to give it my full 100% because I have so much work for each class. I am constantly thinking of ideas for this project and everything I think of has to do with photography. I have decided the basis of my project is going to deal with photography.Taking this interactive design is also giving me ideas recently that I never though would be possible. Combining photo with an interactive piece to me would be something interesting. For now my main goal is to get as many different portraits as of people as possible. It doesn't matter who they are, how old they are, and what they are wearing. I want to do full body portraits so I can crop into them if needed. In the end I want to put all these photos together to make one book. I have been looking at a lot of photographers and Diane Arbus really sticks out to me. Most people find her work extremely creepy and many say she is the "Photographer of freaks". I like the fact that she photographs people who may not have the best looks, but have interesting features. In her photos you get a sense for who these people are and the problems they may face. I want to work with this awkward america that we live in. I am attracted to people and how weird they may or not be.
