Ideas and Inspirations

Trends: I've discovered lately in this class that I am reassessing things I once dismissed as to boring to photograph. I have had a strong want to just explore simple still lifes and landscapes. I like how this class has really made me step back and master the basics more than I once would. 

Ideas: Some ideas that have been showing through for me lately seems to be loneliness or maybe to sound less depressing "separation".  I have done alot of my shooting away from people. Unless I am shooting portraits I am rarely photographing people. I have just been focusing on close up scenes around the city and in my house completely alone. I want to get back to having people in my shoots in a natural way. I want to have that added depth of the subjects emotion in my photos.

Final Work: Ive thought alot lately about the idea of focus in photography. I want to explore the photographers mental focus and how it relates to the actual focus in the image. I have long thought about in my head about how getting something in focus is such a focus of the photographers thinking that it may sometimes take away from something else the image could be saying. From this i have thought about doing a serious of images that are what many would call out of focus. I want to see if I can have success with an image where the photo being in focus has nothing to do with its success.
