Broadening

Refining my ideas to statues and monuments with their historical context has caused me to hit a wall - The few images I created were not as interesting as I imagined; The idea's behind them lacked something substantial.

I've been falling in to the same traps as I have before - becoming obsessed with the technical process.  In this way my idea's work better when broader - when the process is the subject of the images.

A line of thought I'm currently persuing is the idea that what I'm doing is like graffiti - I'd mentioned before how my process isn't visible while I'm making it, only on the final image - the photo record. 
Graffiti obviously can be put anywhere, but there legal and other issues which just don't apply to what I'm doing - I could get away with projecting anywhere, like the Gail Porter projection I mentioned previously.

I have a few limitations on non-static subjects, mostly the amount of light I can produce in one flash - so daytime shooting as I explored yesterday; is very hard.  I would have to flash the same subject multiple times to build up exposure of the projection, whilst not over exposing the image.  At about 2s recycle time this means I'd have to use multiple exposures, which I havn't the equipment meter how many times i'd have flash - I need a remote flash trigger.

My aim at the moment is to brain storm ideas of subjects and projections to go with them, opposing my previous method of finding a location and researching and finding a subject - this made a long working process longer.
