Well, I'm currently in the first part of my photographic thesis and one of my first assignments is to come up with 20 potential ideas for my thesis. So, here goes....
1) Pictures that deal with the form of an object, highlighting the form in a way that transforms the object into something more.
2) The countryside, landscapes with a footprint of humanity
3) pictures that deal with the natural decay and entropy of everything manmade and natural
4) (sort of combining 1 and 2) looking at formal aspects of landscape
5) the natural push/pull between man and nature
6) finding beauty in everyday objects
7) materialism and excess in america (possibly connected with the landscape as well)
8) some type of metaphorical representation of an issue important to me (ie materialism and/or nature)
9) a choreographed narrative dealing with the above issues
10) editorial style photography (probably connected to above issues)
11) photos of constucted landscapes
12) texas landscapes that highlight the differences in terrain of the state
13) highlighting the form of the human body
14) purely formal, aestheticly minded photographs
15) exploring ideas of female identity and the mass media
16) studio portraits of people that strive to elicit some understanding of their personality
17) studio portraiots/fashion photography with emphasis on hair and makeup (thereby putting my cosmetology license to good use :)) (and/or connecting with ideas in #15)
18) minimalist minded photography
19) people watching/street photography exploring ideas of privacy, state of being, explotation, and voyeurism
20) reflections
So there you have it, Im sure the more I think about these things the list will change dramatically, it already has from the first time I wrote it up to typing it up on here :)
