Idea's I've always Wanted to do

After the first lecture and looking into the works in new Topographics, it has got me thinking even more at Ideas that I have always wanted to do.  I personally like working with a documentary side to projects, showing what is 'the real' or leaving the viewer wondering.  But there are some Ideas that I would like to list just as possibles for this short smaller project.

Twins
Twins is a project that i have wanted to work on for a while now and I think i could try to fit it in to this module.  I think that I could use the traditional deadpan aesthetic for the images and creatively produce a series of 6 twins images.  I would seriously consider this, as I have links to quite a few twins, both Identical and un-identical.  My boyfriend is an Identical twin so this could be a lead into the project.  I will write up this idea a bit later on in the project.  

Fur
Fur is a project that I've wanted to explore because I wanted to show that the fashion industry bring in this theme quite often, as big flurry russian hats and the big fur coats come in and out of trend, My nan is a seamstress and over the years has a huge room filled with dresses and clothes galore, and she has these beautiful real fur coats that would be perfect for a theme - i am not quite sure how I would fit this into this module but probably through a deadpan portrait. 

The Old
For this idea I would try to find the oldest people I know around me, or aim for a specific age and theme and ask people I know to ask their great Nan's or great Grandads.  The images would be close in on just their faces to show the lines and how the face changes.  I also considered asking them to find a photo from when they were young, and hold it in front of them.  

Traditional English Sweet Shops
I almost used this as a project last year for an assignment.  I looked round the whole of the Thanet areas, broadstairs, canterbury, margate etc, to find the oldest sweet shops that still hold everything in big jars. When I looked into this idea last year, I had mapped out all of the closest sweet shops, all the locations and was going to travel to each one, i chose against the idea because I ran out of time, which might happen for this project, It may have to be an ongoing piece. 

Landscapes - 'The Same so Different'
This idea is different from my usual themes for project as it is a landscape project.  I used to shoot landscapes a lot more in college but have over the last few years been narrowing my style down to what seems just portraiture.  I would like to try out a landscape assignments again.  This project would be photographing the same 'thing', 'place', 'subject' but in different places and showing what the differences are and whether it makes a difference to that particular place.  This could fit well into this assignment if I decide to shoot landscape. 

Each of these ideas are completely different from one another, I just wanted to include them to show how I can range between ideas and not jus have one similar idea.
