Bullying

Online Bullying is the idea I really want to stick with. At first I took some pictures of gloved hands with technology (computer, cell phone). Then I took some more "wonderful" and obvious hand pictures...I know they're getting old, but here's my thought process: The first picture is just a hand, so a person before they started bullying. Then it's the nice glove, which is like they're just starting, and it's kind of a joke. Then it's a ratted up glove, which is like they're becoming more of a bully and it's messing them up. The last one is the burnt up gross glove, which is how bullying leaves them.

Layers

So, I was trying to think of other ideas for my book, and tried to take pictures according to those ideas. One of them was "layers," so I put on a few layers of gloves and mittens and took pictures of each one. I tried doing it as I was taking the gloves off, but since I was home alone I couldn't find anyone to use as a hand model. Then I left a trail of taken off gloves, showing like "peeling layers."

Then I went back to "the perfect fit" idea, and instead of using different gloves, I used my pet and put it on other objects. It would end up finding a hand, but throughout the book it would be trying on different objects, until it found the perfect one...that kind of an idea.

Then I thought of a glove as an accessory, so I accessorized my glove.

Then I thought of anonymity. People use gloves on crime scenes to ensure their identity won't be found. I didn't really want to create a crime scene, so I decided to say something "mean" to someone via text message, wearing the glove, showing it was anonymous. People hide behind technology to bully all the time.

Then I took a picture of myself covering my mouth, like the glove was hiding a secret.

I'm not sure how I feel about any of these ideas. I kind of like the bullying one, but we'll see.
