Barns

When I started thesis I had no idea where to go.  I thought, this is my chance to do something different, crazy and outside the box.  By the end of the semester, when I still didn't have a solid idea, I realized that this is a project for me and it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks of it.  It is a project that is important to me and viewers can make of it what they want. 
For the past three years of school I have been told not necessarily what to shoot but how to shoot it.  I sometimes found assignments boring and repetitive from class to class.  I have stacks of photographs cleanly printed and matted that sit in the top shelf in my closet that I honestly have no desire to keep but I can't bring myself to get rid of them because of the time I have invested in each one.
Most importantly, I want my thesis to be something that I truly enjoy doing and will cherish for years to come, not just another project tucked away on the dark top shelf of my messy closet.
