Yesterday I called Belindas friend, who Belinda referred me to because she knew about printing on glass. The technique Belindas friend uses to print on glass, she uses a screen printing and firing method. This is a bit costly and you have to have certain materials and equipment, that I dont have.
Looking at web sites that print on glass, Iv found that it is very expensive and a lot of the places dont even deliver to canberra. Even just to have the images printed on acrylic is expensive!
After the convocation and long thought I have decided not to print on glass or acrylic. mainly just because of the pricing and timing issue.
here are some of the websites that I visited that print on glass.

This is a video i found that explanes how they do this process and I have non of the equipment that he has

So instead iv decided to print on transparency paper instead. It still has the same concept that we will all disappear with time, because the prints on the transparency disappear after about 10 yrs I was reading. The prints will all still be see through and I will save a bucket load on cash!
I think because of the bendyness of the transparencies I will have to downsize how big I will have my images. This could also work out well to, if the images are small this will reinforce the idea our life's our smaller in the sceme of things.

practice shoot
These guys in the photo are my friends from work. The reason I shot them is because they are always happy and are having a good time. The people I would like to shoot I want them to be people I consider close to me and I know that they are always happy

This idea of having the box lying on its side and the images coming out sideways solves so
many problems.

GLASS
The other day my friend Bonnie Whitehead passed away at the young age of 19. This was a massive shock to everyone. She was a really lovely down to earth girl, always looking for fun. One of the most loveliest people iv met. out of everyone I know I wouldn't have expected this to happen, especially someone so lovely.
Life is unfair, random and cruel.
Our lives are so fragile and we really do take it for granted, way to much.
This got me thinking that maybe I should have my images printed on glass. Reinforcing the idea that we are fragile. The slitest bump could smash us or put a crack in us.
Another thing about the glass is that its see through. What we see our lives as, is a solid state but really its so temporary. What we think means a lot to us is nothing.
Over time we vanish into thin air like everything is, see threw......
I could have the images overlayed in such a way that all the eyes much up creating an overal image of what seems to be one person. This one person representing humanity.
Instead of having split images of people doing things they like, I will have a basic portrait of a person.

Class Q's
1. Ellory: Who are you making your book for?
Im making the book mainly for myself as an expression of my feelings and thoughts. I want to do something deeper and more meaningful but if I do that I think it will start to become more selfish.
2. Lori: Have you started photographing?
hmmmmmm no not really............. iv done the class exercises but i havent really started!
3. Elise: What inspired you?
Rude,selfish, arrogant,pig head,douche bag,slobs,king shit,SNOOTY and shit head people. People who think they deserve to live the life styles they have, when truly they dont!
4. Kayla: How does the way you are presenting it reflect your idea?
The wooden frames and box are going to reflect life. The wood is from a tree that died to make the wood. Trees are a massive part of our lives they provide us food,shelter,air,warmth and most of all LIFE! We never, EVER stop enough and look and appreciate what they do for us. I also love wood to! The images printed on glass will represent how fragile our lives are.
5. Sue: What are your current thoughts on your concept?

ways of presenting
Something I really love is wood, the texture, the smell and the look. Their is just something about it that cant be matched. Tress are marvelous life forms. We don't stop enough and appreciate them. They provide us with food, air and shelter. We owe our lives to them.
I want my work to be presented in such a way that it creates a physical sensation. Either with the texture

interesting style
This is cool to.
overall i don't want to do a book but I'm rather just looking at textures.
This is the box
This is whats in the box
In class, Brian our teacher showed us a folio of work he did. It was a simple box looking shape. That opened up to be another box inside with images in the other box.
I made a mock up of this idea in hope to get soe inspiration
