Tonight i have none. I had big plans to do my egg shoot tonight but I am lacking motivation. Maybe it's not motivation it is just a lack of energy. I had a long day of work and then a 3 hour night class from hell so i think i'll take a break tonight and do my shoot tomorrow when i will have the energy and awareness to do it right. But i have everything ready, the eggs, the camera (battery charging), glass to shoot from below, and lots of paper towels for cleanup. Sometimes the best part of art is making a mess.
So when i work on this tomorrow i plan to shoot my whole process and the messy leftovers, hey, maybe it will be something interesting to use, who knows. I will be shooting eggs falling off a ledge, eggs hitting the floor(hopefully stopping the motion so we can see the egg just starting to crack as if hits a surface.) I may try shooting multiple eggs dropping at once.
Some people suggested that having eggs will be to easily connected or recognized as something seen before, so i am hoping that i can change that notion by creating something new and different. I feel like every a fairly stock looking image could be the perfect one if it is paired up with the right juxtaposing image. Don't get me wrong though, i really am trying to make something original out of a common object.
I am going to make my first few diptychs this weekend using the egg shoot and pictures from the tunnel i took . I am going to try to take some more chaos images, but i'm not sure of what yet.. . and i will definitely take some "calm" images to create my diptychs. I have some ideas for alternative ways of creating diptychs so there will be big surprises on Tuesday when i blog after my meeting with tom.
I am considering trying to create a diptych where one piece is a photograph and the other is a physical object, i will be playing with a more sculptural aspect. I have no new images to post, but there will be lots of new excitement very soon!
