So, i'm still a little stuck on the whole project. I understand the word but i just can't think of anything to do with it. I know what media I want to use and thats photography but i'm still unsure about the theme i'm going to work with.
Obsession can be a positive thing, such as i'm obsessed with my pet cat because i love cats and i love her. I love her attitude and how she's so selfish. These human qualities is what makes cats so appealing to me. I also have a love for woodlice. I've had it since i was a toddler, its a weird love. I'm also obsessed with my boyfriend Bailey. This is mainly because he's done so much for me without knowing, I know that if we were to break up i'd stalk him. Haha, thats a joke, don't' worry. I want to know everything about him. Its a nice obsession, about somebody who i love.
I also thought abut taking photos of people i don't know, a bit stalker-ish, and filling a sketchbook full of people. This would be about people's lives, how we all go along with our life's not noticing each other. The book would be there to celebrate life, not just mine and my friends but everybody's. It would be like getting loads of family photos and putting them all together. They wouldn't know each other, but in this book there connected.
Another thought was taking photos of things i want or may be of things i need, such as Food, water, clothes and other things. Things i want could be food and clothes too, but could be money, a perfect family and other things. Something i don't have. Something i need.
There is a book called 'Boring Postcards' by Martin Parr which is just what it says, a book full of boring postcards. This is an idea which interested me. I could focus of a theme, such a food, and take hundreds of photos of food, or food shops. Also shops, i could take hundreds of photos of shops, such a pound land, shops that people don't focus on. In leeds, me and my boyfriend counted 14 greggs, that town is obsessed with pasty. I could photo everyone of them, and all the other pasty shops.
Right now i'm still thinking and i'm still unsure as to where the is project is going to take me.
