I've given this subject a lot of thought. Being that I live on a fairly small island, I get bored rather quickly with the photographic subjects at hand. I've found the only way around this is to develop a set of projects to work. For example some of my current projects:

• Ka Iwi Coast project - this is an area around Koko Crater and Sandy Beach. I first came upon this idea while looking a book of B&W photos of the area. I envision this as a LF project, both color and black and white.
• Beaches of Oahu - this project is to document all of the public beaches on the island. I envision this as mainly a 35mm project.
• Native Hawaiian artifacts - this is a project to document religious and historical artifacts of the Hawaiian people. A lot of the locations in this project are difficult to get access to. I envision this as both a LF and 35mm project.
• Murray River, Australia - this project is to document the flow of the Murray River, the second longest in Australia from its source high in the mountains of New South Wales, to its outlet in South Australia.

I try no to have more than 4 or 5 project going at anyone time, simply because I have trouble deciding which one to work on.

Please let me know your thoughts on this subject. It is something I've been thinking about for sometime and a subject I would like to write about.

Thanks,

Robert M. Teague
