Memories
Arturo Herrera shows how fragments of image bring about emotions, desires, and tone quality even in only black and white. The water in the film made for an interesting image; I've heard of it before, but have never seen photos with the water markers.
Kamran Katouzian is another artists that I may want to find out more about. I must have missed something when I was trying to remove the images of Herrera's work from my blog.

Book Ideas
The images from Tom Scott were quite interesting to look at; the scenes on the beach made me think about images I myself have seen while enjoying the coastline. Mr. Scott showed patterns, color, and had taken photos of things not to scale. The images made me open up my thinking of what I want to use for my book. Even though I looked for photos, they are not really what I had in mind. Now after seeing these other pictures I have a better understanding of what I could use for my book. The details I could add would make for a much more interesting object to look at and for anyone to pick up and enjoy.

My Life
I have played with many different ideas for my book. I liked the idea if making a photo album of my life with my husband over the past 25 years, but then I thought maybe that wouldn't be appropriate. How about a book of my children through the eyes of a mother; this one I like too. Now that I really need to get this idea down onto paper, I was thinking that a book about myself and who I am would be the best way to go. I can put my husband and my children in this book, because without them, I wouldn't be the person I am today.
I would begin my book with a baby picture of myself and come up with some kind of text of who this person is, then gradually lead into the person I am today. To close my book I would dedicate it to my family and thank them for putting up with me through this idea that I had about getting a degree so late in my life. I would remind my daughter to finish school before getting married and having a family. I'm looking forward to this book and can't wait to hold it in my hands.
