Project Thinking
| 28 May, 2011 15:41

When thinking about what to photograph I’ve come to think in terms of projects. In fact, ”project thinking” helped me take my photography to a new level. Project thinking has been very important to me as I worked to build a body of work. I tend not to look for isolated interesting subjects to photograph. Sometimes a scene or potential photographic subject will catch my attention and I will do my best to make an interesting photograph. Occasionally, such photographs become the start of a project.
While I tend to think of most of my projects as “projects”, for some reason I think of the pizza men in my pizza man project as a “collection”. You might understand why I see this collection as something that is more fun than serious. It certainly has been fun and I’m sure that more additions to the collection will be forthcoming. Do you think in “projects”? If so, what has “project thinking” done for your photography?
