CONCENTRATION IDEA CHANGE!




     Alright,  so crazy as this may seem, I have had a complete change of ideas for my concentration theme. After trying and trying to take pictures throughout the past few weeks of different girls and attempting to capture their insecurities and "needs" at the same time, I realized it was extremely difficult and not what I was looking for. I was stuck and completely blanked on any other ideas at the time.  My new idea is this: I will take diptychs of pictures with half consisting of various people and then the other half a picture of something that represents what that individual wants to be when they grow up. I will do the people in black and white, and then the object in color to represent hope and a sense of motivation. I feel like this theme relates to me personally more than my other idea. However, this creates a dilemma because I now have a time-crunch. It will be very difficult for me to achieve this goal by next week, especially since I have activities before and after school every day. But this will definitely be a conflict that I can hopefully say I've overcome at the end of this project. Even though it's a bit ridiculous to change last minute, I feel like I can only do well if I do what I actually want to portray and if the pictures relate to me personally.
(Above is an example of what I wanted to do. It's supposed to be my mother, however, this isn't my mother as i don't have any pictures handy of her. My mom works with flowers and she's always wanted to, so the flower represents her dream and the woman represents my mom)
