For the next two weeks:
I know I want to work with people/the subject of human relationships/interactions somehow. I haven't done much work with people in art lately because it always seems like a less accessible subject, particularly when working within a tight time frame and around people who also have limited time. Because this semester affords me more flexibility in terms of time and scope of projects I really want to try to delve into this a little bit more. I'm not sure what exactly I want to do but for these first two weeks I'm going to explore my options.
The goals:
1. shoot (digitally) scenes involving/featuring human interaction. Explore both posed and candid. End up with at least 20 photos that I really like/think capture something about human relationships.
2. spend a few hours/sessions sketching people around me. (on quad, in Portland, in a coffeeshop, etc)
3. Begin collecting works of art that capture something about human interactions that resonates with me.
I've got just the thing. You should take photographs of lobstermen hauling traps out of the water. Then, instead of treating them with the blue stuff, just press whatever button in photoshop makes a photograph look like an oil painting. Then, jack up the contrast and brightness really high, and sell them for $600 each at Coveside.
