Second Half Paper

For the next assignment I have a few ideas, all of which I am pretty set on expressing as a photo essay. I have taken various photography classes at SHU, and I feel that photo essays can be very powerful, especially when photographs and words are used together to say something about a controversial topic, or an idea that we often take for granted that the author may have something more to say about.
One idea would be to focus on the lives of children and display how they differ among race, income, gender, etc.
Another idea would be to focus on something intangible like human relationships and interactions, and display how those vary greatly, but nonetheless, all serve a purpose.
Another thought is to pick an organization on or off campus and display all aspects to reveal the whole image of the group and its individual members.

    Fine thought. Some considerations are: Doing enough substantive and creative writing. Getting permissions from people to photograph them.

    A second reaction: the second and third ideas--the human interactions or the campus group. I am leaning toward the second because it can be so flexible in the photos and the way you write on them. Give some samples on your blog this week.
