Remnants: An Introduction

I've been asked to do a journal in my photography class. Since I already do a photo blog this seemed relatively easy. I'll expand the idea a bit later, but the journal is titled Remnants. In it there will be "entries" which are more like sections. The first one will be Remnants: Tracks about things i find left along railroad tracks. The idea of the whole project is to study what we leave behind. I'm starting with concrete objects but may delve into psychological remnants.

New project.

I use this blog as a depository for ideas. I'll be rounding them all up soon to then make one of them a semester long project.

Idea one: The kiss.

Idea two: "The stars fell like sprinkles from the sky and soon we made snowmen of stardust." A photo with that caption. It might make a better painting or ink drawing.

So I'm thinking.

And I'm thinking I want to paint something on my wall. I'm pretty sure my parents wouldn't mine me painting on it. I'd run it past them first. But I have no idea what it would be. It would have to be something small. Something that added to the room. Something that played on my whole otherworld obsession. I guess I'll start brainstorming.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Also, look at my blog. It has a new banner thing and new colors. Tell me what you think.

Ten thoughts.

I picked the number ten rather arbitrarily, lets see how this works.

[01] The health care system (In the US) makes me want to retch. How can a business survive on the basis of trying to help the least amount of people?
[02] I really enjoy mystery in my life, and therefore hope to one day get caught up in some sort of conspiracy.
[03] Julie comes come tomorrow (see thought 01) and I am both very angry and very elated at this fact.
[04] I'm halfway through House of Leaves and I have no idea what else there is to be explained.
[05] The Saw movie theme is incredibly brilliant, and leads me to believe there might be something interesting inside the Saw series. Though it all repulses me still.
[06] I've been "saving" the Dark Tower series and Godfather movies, and I think it's time to fall in.
[07] Why do i have this strange obsession with old objects and places? Especially because I'm so concerned for the future.
[08] Perhaps that IS why I enjoy the past so much.
[09] Fuck I need a job/money.
[10] Does my school have any sort of astrophysics or cosmology courses/clubs? If so would I be in over my head if I tried to get into one?

I know that last one was kind of cheating.
