These pictures didn't have much to do with anything that I wanted to do exactly. I originally wanted to out two different animals together but that would be hard without going to the zoo. So in these images, they inspired me to think of something different and the nature picture made want to do something realistic. I wanted to do something that would be a little more of a challenge to get the point across but in a different way. I thought that these images were a good start to get my mind going on, to start brainstorming. It was just a tool to help me understand the assignment better and way to get an idea.

-My idea that I am going to to try and create in a picture on wishing. There are many things that you could wish upon so they come true, such as wishing on a shooting star, rub a genie lamp and get 3 wishes, or even blowing out your birthday candles. I want to interpret a bunch of myths together in one image, to make it almost as a scene. The myth and metaphor are basically the same, that wishing on anything that your wish will come true within time, but there is no actual proof of it. -For my subject, I will need to take pictures of a scene but outside, the image could be at night to capture the star. It is all going to be nature and lighting. Might have to take a picture of a light to portray it as a shooting star in the night. But the images I won't need to take any images of people or costume or anything like that. -I would like to do this idea because for over years it has been a myth and even movies on wishing and then it should come true. This is an interesting topic to me because it will show more then just one wishing myth. While doing this project and trying to put so many wishing myths into one, I will learn how to have better Photoshop skills that I normally don't -I first came up with wishing on a shooting star, but then instead of just have it strictly as that, I wanted to have it just on wishing. Whenever you wish upon anything it should come true there are many myths about and stories to follow along with them. It has been a major part of history because everyone daily wishes on something, but no on ever knows if it really does come to life. I believe that the whole wishing originated from Europe when the Greek Ptolemy wrote that the gods would peer down at the earth and the stars would slip of the gap from between the spheres, which became visible as falling stars. Which the Greek fathomed shooting stars to be rising or falling human souls.
 * CONCEPT: What is your idea for mythology and/or metaphor, how will you interpret the idea of a visual metaphor and a myth? **
 * SUBJECT: What sorts of images will you need to shoot to create your idea? What will it involve? places, people, costumes, sets, nature, lighting? **
 * REASONING: Why do you wish to do this idea? What will you learn from it? How is it interesting to you? **
 * FACTS: What is the myth/metaphor that you are basing your idea on? Explain it's history and any other pertinent facts regarding the myth/metaphor that will help us understand your idea. **
