Starting strategies
Gather and organize all of my photo ideas
Have camera at all times
If I see something and think about photographing it, PHOTOGRAPH IT.
Consider old work: re-shooting/titling/etc.
Look at iconic self-portraits and work that uses humor/deadpan approaches
Questions
Why should anyone care about me/my life/my experiences--can the work be universal?
Is humor appropriate here?
Is the work one-dimensional (i.e. does it end after figuring out the pun)?
Is photography the appropriate medium?
Am I necessary in the photo? How can I render the photo without myself in it?
How literal is the photo, and is it too literal? What about the title--what information does it add?
What are my instincts telling me?
Is everything in the image necessary?
How aware of the camera am I, and is that part of the piece?
