Hey, so this next project is supposed to be whatever we want so long as it's original and preferably not just a single image. I've been trying hard to come up with a concept and it's been hard. Really, I'd like to use my photographs that I took while I was studying abroad in Europe. Throughout that time, I often felt like something romantic was supposed to happen, but wherever I went - it never happened. I know that that feeling is in truth a desire for the Lord, which no mortal can ever satisfy; it's too big for this world to handle. It's like what CS Lewis said, "If I find in myself desires that nothing in this world can satisfy I can only conclude that I was not made for here." Although it would be nice to have had some sort of moment happen like in "The Tourist." I think what I'm going to do is something that doesn't require printing out the images. Instead it would be a sort of slide thing - like what one of the other students did a while back. It was black and white and had text. What this would be is sort of a tour to my romantic sensibilities - which is what I'm thinking of calling it. "Romantic Sensibilities." Or I may include the CS Lewis quote throughout the images. Each of the photos that I've selected to work with are some of my favorites, but most of them have no people in them. It feels like something is supposed to happen in the scene, but it never does. However, the very fact that I'm there to take the beautiful photo is in itself a romantic moment between me and the Lord. Though I can't see him, he's there more than even I am there. Anyway, the more I write about it the more concrete my idea gets. TTYL
