Like any other normal person, I spend my weekend running errands, doing chores, and living life. However, I am not a normal person. I am what people like to call mentally disturbed. Don’t worry about me because I am completely fine. I mean I have to say I ‘ve been in a mental institution for almost 10 years of my life. I’m still ok. So I tried to drown my little sister in our pool. So what? I was just trying to baptize her like how they did it in the bible. Nobody believed she was possessed. The only one who believed me was Tommy, my best friend. He was actually the one who led me to believe my sister was possessed and I had to baptize her until she couldn’t breathe anymore. He helped me get through those long years in solitary confinement. He was my only friend at that time when no one else would be there to support me. Anyways, now I live in a nice little suburb where everyone is friendly with all the neighbors. There’s the occasional rude neighbor that everyone cannot stand but I deal with him or her without a fuss. I mean, Tommy still tells me what I need to do to rude people. If people are mean and rude and nasty, they don’t deserve to live. So during my weekends when I have finished all my weekend chores, I would lure those restless neighbors into my house. Being friendly and manipulative, I’ll convince my victim, I mean neighbor, into having a drink with me not knowing the sleeping pills were placed in his or her drink. Then as they drift to sleep I finally have a little fun with the torturing and the skinning and the abuse that would come after. The details of how I do it and how I get rid of the body is another story. Tommy doesn’t allow me to talk about such things. I believe in him, even though nobody else does. People think he is imaginary and was all in my head.

I plan on doing a DAY IN THE LIFE OF A BODYBUILDER. My roommate is a bodybuilder so, I know his routine contains many different steps each day. Including supplements, 8-10 meals, 3 hour workouts, and PROTEIN!!! But I was maybe thinking of doing a dumb bell rack with all the different pieces of his day in front a mirror with the reflection of the results of his day.

Yeary, Gymnast

Gymnastics is a riveting sport. The endurance needed to maintain the body and physical strength from a gymnast requires multiple hours spent on the four apparatus' of a female athlete plus conditioning. The frame will be shot on the floor with one of the beams or bars in the background. The floor routine is where girls will flex between a graceful dancer to a complete powerhouse. In the picture there will be many things like a leotard, bottled water, hand grips, and chalk. Many words used to describe a gymnast would be, passionate, flexibility, courageous and mighty.

After thinking about what I wanted to do all weekend i came to the conclusion that I wanted to do a day in the life of a drug user, It may be inappropriate but I think to have something with a different vibe would be cool. I’m not sure if I want to do a specific type of drug user I might use a chronic pot head.  I just feel like I want to take this project to a different level.  Personally I find that a lot of people who have or are ­doing drugs and I think it would be interesting to see what kind of composition I come up with. For the back ground I want to take either a table top, a couch with a low coffee table,.i want to use the table and add photos to make it look like the table has a set up and all the tools and stuff needed to smoke a doobey. I want to draw up a pipe or a hand holding a pipe and add it to the composition. For the color Scheme I wanted to maybe have a overlay of a transparent layer of trippy rainbow colors or maybe Rastafarian colors. I also want to add smoke too.  Items that may be in the composition: a grinder, a pipe, drugs{which I will find a picture off the internet},rolling papers, a lighter, a sweet, and last but not least some like chips [ cause everyone gets the munchies ].

The person i plan to depict will be a dreamer, one who essentially dreams. For this i actually plan to make it a self-portrait of myself lying in bed or sleeping somewhere. i will take place bottom of frame while my "dream space" will be illustrations of things of my imagination, or things of my day that i encountered or thought about. For someone who dreams vividly ever night and who has actually done reading about dreams and the state of consciousness of the mind during sleep i want to incorporate ideas of realism with abstraction.  a dream can feel real and you won’t know it wasn’t until you wake up (unless your lucid dreaming) and you realize how "silly" some of the things you thought of. i want to include things like musical instruments for i have had dreams of playing the keyboards to drums to vague people who only certain features allow me to recognize them. Other objects will be little creatures that inhabit the dream, which will be little drawings of geometric and organic shapes i like to draw. Mostly the things in the picture will be things of my life and inspiration that can come to me in dream form. These objects of interest will be appearing to be in a cloud of some form to represent the fogginess of a dream and the many things that can come in and out unexpectedly. The whole upper frame will have gaps in the cloud so that I can show the layers of a dream one can travel where things become intensely real. For that I may want to include some realistic drawings of people while bottom layer items near my head will be simpler. I may want to include dark parts in the cloud to represent the nightmare that can occur, however it would be small to show one can control what they dream.

I want to do my project through my dog's eyes. I always wonder what goes through dog's minds, and enjoy that they appreciate the little things in life.

For  "my day in the life" project I have decided to do a day in the life of a drug addict/recovering drug addict. I have a lot of personal experience with this with having close relation ships with family members, friends, and girl friends who had harsh times with this subject. To make the composition i plan to use a sketchy picture of a bathroom stall. I want this picture to look grungy and dirty( graffiti on the walls, broken tiles, etc..), this will help to show the low point ad limits of an addict. secondly for the picture i will be taking I'm deciding between two a picture my hands held out carrying a drawn of pills which i will draw erase redraw to give it that original dirty look. Or a picture of a girl curled up in a corner with sweat dripping of her head and bags under her eyes. the picture i would draw for the second would be needles and other drugs sprawled out around her. I want this picture to have a raw feel to it while almost making it look like a dream. to show the euphoric feeling as feel as the drown troughts at the same time.

I wanna be… the very best… like no one ever was. Nah I’m gonna do day in the life of a photographer. Since I was a little Niño, I dreamed of becoming the world’s bestest film maker. Fortunately, I still have the dream-bug so I still pursue film as a passion today. Presently, I’m solidifying a nice

cushy little structure in photography (part time basis) making some decent side dough whilst I does it. I have actually been doing it successfully for over six months now.

I heart it... more than alot. I also plan on tapping into my background knowledge in design decide to go full time with film.. it also gives me a chance to see things most people wouldn’t to help with creating quality films. Not only does photography give me great structure for when I

normally see.. or notice.. or even attempt to look for. In that light, I feel a real connection to photography and am able to have great respect for it.

I want to use one of my photo flicktures and add a little old school hand gestured framing of the shot (two L’s connected at the finger tips) in front of the picture as if I’m scaling it up to take a shot. Add some cool pequito effectos to make it look all legit like… I think it’ll come out looking rather bonita. And now comes the time where I type until I reach my two hundred and fiftieth word. Heres a couple of my shots.

Here's a couple photos of examples of framing in which I would like to use:

I'm taking "A Day in The Life" assignment and putting in separate sky divers into an altered background of clouds. I wanted something radical but clean at the same time and I couldn't help but think that something so simple, yet intense, could fit the slot better than sky diving. PLUS I've always wanted to do so myself. With these illustrations I wanted to make an illustration of Birds behind them making it seem like they are really high but throwing the view off with the birds as to how high with the combined pictures. It's all about warping the perception of distance and where, while utilizing a small measure of what I have always wanted to do in my personal life.

I plan to do "A Day In the Life of a Dancer" Before I graduated, I danced a lot in high school and it was pretty much my life. I was a Sr. Lieutenant for my dance team, I  was on pom squad, the elite team, I was on the Senior Company for a dance studio, and I was President of a Christian dance group. Being able to experience days in the life of a dancer I thought it would be appropriate to choose this. My idea is to choose either an empty stage or studio background and incorporate a dancer or dancers into the picture. I'm not sure how many at this point. When I think of dance I think of how much time and work I put into what I loved doing everyday, so that being said, I'd like to put some key elements in the background as whether such as: a water bottle, make-up bag, bobby pins, hairspray, toe paws, athletic tape, things of that nature that a dancer would carry with him/her everyday to practice. I plan on using an image of myself for the original photo, however I would like to use one that will not emphasis my face as much, so maybe use a pose that hides the face or just makes it a little less obvious to tell who it is. I may end up drawing some of the small items or if I use the "empty stage" idea I may draw something like the lights. Since this is "A day in the life of..." I might use a picture that is in the perspective of the performer - the view you would see if you were looking out from the stage into the audience.
