Final Project? Ideas?

So I was sitting in class last tuesday, and I kept thinking what am I going to do for my final project, especially after hearing someone say they were going to use a porcelain bathtub! So I asked my self what was personal to me, and I really like the beach so I knew that I wanted to use the beach. I actually found myself inspired from the work of Mr. Birchett. I really liked how he used the white dresses and how that time period was personal to him. I really liked how liked to use the female form as well. So again my mind kept wandering, and I really liked the idea of a lossed love, or wanting/waiting. I'm from an area in which alot of people have family members in the military. My family does as well. I really wanted to capture that longing for the family member to return.

However I wasn't quite sure how to portray that in photos. So I kept thinking and along the same lines I thought about how when you walk down the beach, you can find things. Sometimes it may be junk or it can be change or sometimes jewlwey. So I finally thought that it may be easier to go with a theme of "lost memories." Even the junk on the beach has a memory tied to it. I thought this may go along with the title of the book as well "overlay". I will probably post some more on how I think my piece relates to "overlay".
