Final Project

So, I am officially horrible at picking final project ideas. No, not even that. I am officially horrible at making decisions. Any decision at all. And even after, keeping it is hard. So, I didn't have any ideas for a final project coming out of witner break or any images to work with. I know, its terrible, and I am very ashamed. But alas, here we are, with one week until the final project is due without any images. But, Slade has told me what to do. Shoot people at the ski slopes to show how many of them it takes to make the place work. The hamburger flippers, the greeters, the people that just stand there doing nothing, the car-directers, the people that help you rent equipment, the ticket sellers, the table-busers, the people who work in the gift shop, the ski patrollers and rescuers, and the people in the boxes controlling the lifts. So, I'm kind of excited, although a little worried that these people will be super busy and not be very willing to have their picture taken along with me not loving talking to random strangers and taking their pictures. This will be hard for me, but if it works I think it will be great. I'm worried I will take too long taking the pictures and they will get fed up with me distracting them from work and the whole ski slope will crash. No, that was too far but really, I've never taken a whole assignment JUST of strangers. Actually, pretty sure I've NEVER taken a picture of a stranger for photo class. So, thats why this is a stretch and I suppose it will be good for me and teach me something, but I'm worried. I'm worried that I only have one weekend and if they are busy, it'll be really hard to take the pictures of the people in the cafeteria and of the lift-workers. So I really hope this works. Really hope it does. AHHH. Cause if not, I'm SCREWED. Yeah, pretty much. So please please please wish me luck!
