Where is my Mind?

I shouldn't have a hard time coming up with something to photograph for my BFA but holy cow... I change my mind every single day.
Initially I was planning on doing some gender role switching inspired by this photo:
But once I tried it I hated it so I changed my mind.

So right now I'm working on shooting salesmen (with a camera not a gun duh).
Or I might shoot portraits of people with certain objects, I don't know what tat object would be right now but it would be the same for everyone. That one is inspired by John Huck's project called breakfast:
Pretty cool. I like the idea of people matching their breakfast, or matching any sort of inanimate object. But I'm having a hard time getting that one off the ground.

Now I'm playing with the idea of shooting fast food managers/drive thru window attendants, OR shooting musicians with an object (similar to the breakfast idea).

I want to do something that changes my life and defines me as an artist. But right now, I don't know if I'm going to survive this journey of self discovery...

It's killing me. But I feel like if it wasn't killing me then I wouldn't be working hard enough. A BFA is a big deal, so it should look like a big deal. And it will. Eventually. When I manage to get my head on straight.

I'll look back and remember how stressed out I got and I won't regret it. Like I said before in previous blog posts; I only worry about the important things, the things that have an impact on the rest of my life. This is one of those things.

Any input would be appreciated. Seriously.
