Today I had a break through! Hallelujah! All last semester and this whole winter break I've been frustrating myself about what I should do for my portfolio that I submit to be officially accepted into the photography major at ASU. And it came to me today. I was sitting in Borders, reading a book then KaPlow! I finally realized how I can make all my other ideas come together as one. I'm going to focus on night photography. To me, night photography is like exploring a new world. As soon as the sun goes down, everything seems so different. I'm going to use different exposure times..I'm thinking I'll take some of people walking over a period of time so they appear as ghosts, have cars going by so all you see are the lights, hands of a clock whirling around. My idea is to focus on the idea of time. It seems to be going so fast lately. Photography gives me a feeling as if I can somehow control it because it allows me to capture a piece of time and keep it forever. I'm not just focusing on time really...but more of the feeling of time and what it does. I'm not really sure...but it's something I can build on and it's something that I've been thinking about for awhile so that's always good.
In other news, Steve and Heath got me addicted to The OC. I never thought I'd say it, but it actually is good.
