Final Project Proposal

 Proposal 1: Lake Life

This photo essay would capture the experience of what it's like to live on a lake. When you live on a lake and own a boat, there is a certain sense of community, relaxation, and freedom. There are also some stressful elements such as boat maintenance, docking, or loading and unloading trailers. This essay would capture all of these different elements and experiences that come with living on a lake.

Shot List: De-winterizing boat, preparing boat for summer, hauling boat to marina, unloading boat off of trailer, docking boat on boat lift, filling boat with fuel, loading boat with passengers and food/drink, preparing for day out on the lake, socializing with other boaters, running the boat at full speed, dropping anchor and swimming or laying out, eating and drinking on boat.

Proposal 2: Life of Musician

This essay would capture the essence of what it's like to be a full time musician. Being a musician is no simple task, especially if one wants to make a living at it. Some different ways to make money are by writing songs, teaching private lessons, playing gigs, etc., and some musicians combine all of these to make a living. It isn't always a pretty and organized life as a musician, but the payoff is huge. Maybe not financially, but definitely emotionally.

Shot List: Recordings sessions, teaching lessons, band practice, band gigs, writing songs, gear (instruments/recording equipment)
