9th Floor: Reworked Proposal.

   Over the course of the project, I think my original proposal has been slightly modified. Here is the original:

"Privacy is a big deal in this day and age. With Big Brother constantly watching us, can we ever get sincere privacy?

Most people feel that the bedroom is the most private of places. What goes on in the bedroom is often taboo, or at least not spoken about. Whether is be sleeping, changing clothes, or something more intimate, the bedroom is a place where most feel safe, alone, secure.

With Project 1: Space, I want to explore the privacy of bedrooms, and what makes them feel so comfortable and safe."

   Rather than naming the project just Project 1: Space, I've decided to call it 9th floor, which is reflective of where the photos were taken.

   I think that the proposal is still pretty accurate, although I have reworked it. Here is my modified proposal:


   The bedroom. It is not often talked about, but we spend 1/3 of our lives there. Some of us choose to only sleep in our bedrooms, but base our lives out of our bedrooms. For some of us it is just another room, but for others it is our only safe haven.
   In this short series of photographs, I want to expose the idea of the bedroom. In particular, what people surround themselves with in their bedrooms. What do they choose to comfort themselves with? I aim to use lighting and point of view to help convey the messages of my photos. I've also experimented with the intersection between anonymity and ownership.
