Discussion

I think the discussion went really well. The class offered some great ideas and I am excited to start working. I found some suggestions very helpful. I am thinking about starting to photograph inanimate objects in different situations to start prompting ideas. I think its interesting how an object holds the ability to be viewed with emotions. A wilted peice of pizza can be viewed as sad, and a ripe shiny apple, happy. I am a bit hesitant to start this assignment however because I have some ideas for a body of work that is unrelated to this subject. I want to focus my work around concepts of time, memory, and relationships. I think I have the ability to incorporate some of these concepts into this idea. Perhaps I can record how a object changes with time, its relationships to other objects as well as how the enviorment and surroundings can change how the object "feels". However, I want the end result to have some humor but also to contain some important information reguarding the human condition and the attachments that people make to their possesions and the value that they hold.
