Ideas

I'm looking for ideas; ideas for footage to shoot and photographs to take.  Lately life has given me lots of subjects to photograph.  Christmas is always a good time for photos; then my youngest turned sixteen.  I got shots of her cake, her wearing a tiara, her in the van my mom gave her, and the damage my daughter caused to said van.  Nobody has a boyfriend so Valentine's Day was quiet.

When my limited life has been recorded for those willing to look can see I turn to my list.  When I think of a subject I add it to my assignment list.  I check stock agency websites for ideas as well.  I get inspiration from their newest uploads, and from other artists' portfolios.  I look at some of their work and say to myself, "How did they think of that?" or, "I wish I would have thought of that."  If it's something I can put my own spin on, I add the concept to my list.  If it's something I could never shoot I move on.  People shhot all kinds of things: people, food, buildings, mining, medical, military, everyday objects, you name it.

With so many subjects to choose from, you may be wondering why I need your help with ideas.  Well, we all have our own prospective and I'm sure there are subjects out there I could work on but haven't thought of.  I need to get as many ideas as I can as soon as possible.  I need to get them photographed or videoed, edited, and uploaded while my eyesight holds out.

My left eye is failing fast.  It is almost useless but I can still see a little bit with it but not read or write.  My right eye is doing mucy better but it seems to be getting slowly worse.  I want to have about four times as many files online as I do know before I'm forced to stop.  I have just over 600 files on Pond5 at the time of this writing.  I'm hoping to have at least 2400 to 3000 online before I'm done.
