I feel drunk already, maybe my drink got spiked, but more like the other like that I'm just a lightweight

Ideas for photography... Ideas for photography...
I can come up with strange concepts but they're hard to put into practical use in such a short amount of time.
For example, I thought of doing something with animals and like, primitive instinct in humans. I would take photos of animals and then almost recreate it with people. Maybe lead on from instincts to raw emotion. I like quite conceptual ideas and more psychological aspects of photography rather than just "ooh that looks pretty- click". The problem with this idea though is it's not very realistically available, I don't have time to go to a zoo and take photos of animals AND take the actual photos of people, I don't even have a model to work with at the moment.
So I'm trying to come up with other ideas.

I found this photo randomly which I really like. It's called Pnigophobia which is a fear of choking. Made me think maybe I could do some photos based on phobias? Not sure, I should look into it more really...

I like yyellowbird on Flickr. Her work has some of the nicest colours and she models in them herself (using either a timer on her camera or a sort of remote to take the picture). The only problem with that I wouldn't really have a concept for it. She just takes nice photos in abandoned houses generally. There aren't that many abandoned houses where I live, the only place like that being an abandoned sport pavilion sort of thing that now looks like a burnt and thoroughly graffited shed. I've already used that in two of my photo shoots, one of them when it was snowing. It has a deteriorating armchair outside of it too.


I really need to finish this post and start on my coursework. Might blog when I'm finished but I doubt I'll have time.
