I've had this idea in my head for the last couple of weeks on doing a photo series on transparency. It mostly came to me in the work that I do at Multifaith Works. We're constantly discussing how we (staff) can be more transparent in the work that we do. Namely, being open about what we have experienced in our lives that have led us to where we currently are.
The way that I would like to see this played out is to have a diverse pool of models (which will probably end up being friends and family members I've suckered into posing for me) willing to expose an intimate element of who they are.
They would be shot individually and backlit with one of my softboxes. Their frontside would then be lit by an image (representative of their willingness to be transparent) projected onto them.
I have all the necessary tools so far except maybe a projector. However, I know of where I could borrow one. I also need to order the power cords from Bogen over on the east coast. That has turned into a real pain in the ass. They're the only US distributor/manufacturer(?) of Elinchrome products, so I have to go through them to order my missing parts.
Anyway. I'm excited about this. I've thought about it long enough that I feel that it's something I really want to accomplish. We'll see how it all plays out...

What I Need
I need more time. I feel like I have so much I want to accomplish and not enough hours to do it in. I've just spent the last four hours trying to make updates to my website and I've only accomplished 75% of it.
On a side note, I hate how long it takes to update through my web host.
It smells like rotten vegetables. I can't figure out where it's coming from but I think it might be the dog. She's old.
Alright, list time. Things that I need:
1. Time. That one's simple.
2. Power cords for my elinchrome powerpacks. I have to call Bogen Imaging in NY for this.
3. A chance to catch up on emily's website.
4. Have things fully organized at work.
5. I want to begin some carpentry classes. Or even just have Abuelo teach me. I just really want to learn how to build things.
Time has escaped me, once again, and I need to go to bed. I really want to get an episode of Battlestar Galactica in before bedtime. We'll see about that.
