I've been browsing around online and in books thinking about my thesis project. As of now, I am going to work on a couple different projects and see which starts developing in the direction I am looking for.
•First, a study on the changing lifestyle in my home area, the transformation from an outdated oil community to a growing wind energy community. This will be somewhat of a continuation of my first thesis, but I will be looking for the things that have changed in the area as well as the things that remain timeless.
•Second, I will be looking into the irony of tourist attractions and family trips. I'm looking for a mix of the things that are actually interesting as well as those things that just seem ridiculous to be driving to see. I will be shooting at locations around Texas and comparing them with my own family photos from my childhood. I'm excited about this project because I will get to do some traveling myself. So, anyone interested in seeing some random sights with me? Sounds like some fun weekend trips!
With both of these ideas I want to experiment with the combination of digital prints and alternative processes(I'm hoping to work with gum bichromates). I cant wait to get some great images to work with & start experimenting!
So on to the inspirations... Surprise, most of them are traditional and documentary photographs.
Garry Winogrand
Esther Bubely
Henry WolfThese next few were feeding into my ideas of combinging processes/photos...
