Self-Portrait Proposal

First of all, the photographs that I saw at the Museum of Fine Arts gave me many ideas of how to create a Self-Portrait of myself. The photographs that I will be taking for the Self-Portrait assignment are random photographs about me. As of now, I do not have a specific topic for my photographs. I was thinking of shooting rolls that are related to John Coplas which he made a self-portrait about his body parts, and also from Vaclav Chochola which he took his picture and inserted a transparency of him. For my first roll of film, I will take pictures of myself at the University of Houston in different poses. I was also thinking about taking three pictures of myself in a portrait as a mafia person with a bluish background and with the mafia logos on the four corners. And for the rest of the roll, I will be shooting it at the University of Houston. For the second roll, I will be taking pictures at my house also doing different poses. I will take the first ten pictures at the front of the house standing near the plants, all three vehicles, and standing next to my house. The next five pictures will be pictures inside my house. And for the last ones, I will be taking them in the backyard on top of the garage. I always wanted to take pictures of myself on top of the roof in different poses. Some of them will be about my daily activities that I do sometimes. For my third roll, I will be taking pictures of my body parts like Coplans, and the rest of them will be about many places so I can insert transparencies of myself in the picture itself.
