Cyclical Nature: Beginning Sketches and Drafts

 I started with a sudden idea, which turned into a few rough sketches.  My general idea is to connect the idea of plants living and dying on an annual schedule to some sort of goddess of time.  After thinking through what sort of image I'd like to create, I need to collect more photos that would work.  Today was too busy to collect new photos during the day, so instead I focused on drafting what might work in PhotoShop.



I went on Bing (now my absolute favorite source for photos) and found some images of stars, galaxies, a meditating woman, a plant, and clock faces.  Again, I'll have to go back and take some original photos for this project.

Project 4: New Idea!

 After having some time to think about the assignment and what might be both a fun and creative project, I think I have found my idea!  I intend to make a small spiral-bound book, bound so that the pages can go 360 degrees around.  The book will have 24 pages, one for each hour of the day.  There will be no set start or end to the book, it will be a day cycle so you could open at any page and go through it.  For each hour (page) I'm thinking it will be a self portrait of sorts of how I'm feeling in that hour.  I'll take a few self portrait photos of the hour and paste them together collage-style.  For the backgrounds I would like to use abstract color to represent the feel of the hour. I hope that made even a little sense!
