ideas for photo essay project

ways of putting together a linear form of photo essay:

fiction versus non-fiction (narrative)
moving away from 'nouns' and objects
(q: why do we like to 'name' things in our culture? this, that, you, me, i have 'this')
vertical versus horizontal
use of a different 'note' (as in music)
spiritual versus factual


ideas for non-linear projects:

3-dimensional forms beyond the use of web
things in motion
joy versus tragedy
(q: why do we exaggerate more to visualize 'tragedy'? why do assume that we know 'joy' so well? we think we know it but it can be just as complex as tragedy)
