Civil light

This posting kind of goes along with the prior posting ("lights out"). For my studio project I'm still trying to hash out some ideas for a concentration. My problem is that I'm ADD when it comes to photography. I want to be able to capture everything, and I hate the idea of having to pick one thing to focus on for months (such is life) because I'm interested in little details, and broad concepts, and maybe I'm too much of a visionary. At the same time its good that I have to concentrate on one idea because instead of being okay at a bunch of things, I can master one. I know that I want to focus on people, and I know that I want to selectively use light to create a more dramatic, shadowed effect on the face, however I don't know exactly where I am going with it. I'm interested in taking cross generational portraits that broadcast vulnerability, that extract the bare nature of ourselves stripped from all our public facades. These photos are playing with this idea a little, but my project will look entirely different. I think I am going to start photographing people (of all different ages) surfacing out of darkness. For me this represents transition. We are constantly emerging into different phases of our lives: childhood, adolescence, adulthood, "self realization," old age. And with each step comes a totally different set of ideas, and change is where we become most vulnerable because it isn't comfortable anymore.
