When I began brainstorming for this project, I was not so sure exactly what kinds of pictures I wanted to take of myself. However, the first thing that came to mind was my love of nature. I began thinking of what photographs I could use to express my love for my natural surroundings. Consequently, I began thinking of all the photographs I had previously taken, myself, of certain insects, as well as other photographs that I had friends take of me while I was holding a certain insect or creature. I never realized just how many photographs I have of me in these particular situations. My close friends know that I love moths, butterflies, praying mantices, caterpillars, etc. I am just intrigued by them. The only insects I don't like are pests, spiders, and several kinds of creepy-looking black beetles. Although I was not originally going to use a triptych idea, it ended up turning into one. I was initially going to use a photograph of me with a butterfly that hand landed on me when I went to a butterfly observatory. However, after I began working on my project and after I discovered more photographs on my memory card, I decided not to use an image of my face or whole body. I decided to simply use the photographs I took of the insects on my hand. For the backgrounds, I also decided to use my own photographs of grass and the sky, representing insects that mostly fly or mostly live on the ground.
I used both previous photographs from last summer or so, as well as more recent photographs to express my idea. I want the project to be a two-dimensional wall hanging, but I also want it to have some aspects of three-dimensionality. Therefore, i will make certain parts of the arrangement pop out, away from the entire piece itself. I'm not quite sure how I want to arrange the photographs or how I wish to edit them. However, i do know that I want the majority of the work I do to be in photoshop. I may not decide to use illustrator at all for this assignment. I want my project to represent my love for nature in a more intriguing, and less trite way than just looking at my collection of nature-embracing photographs.
