Inventing ideas isn't easy. Mostly ideas aren't new; mostly they're borrowed from someone who borrowed them from someone else. The best we can do is modify them with new twists that someone else will borrow later and hope that our twists will then be incorportated into the litany of photography, most likely uncredited.

Here is an example of a failed idea. I had the opportunity to often see a dear friend of mine when she woke up in the morning, and as I knew she was beautiful I thought it would be marvelous to photograph her first thing. She agreed. This is the best of the lot.
