looking at thousands of photographs

So, since wed. i have basically been sitting at home, at the kitchen table, for about 8 hours a day looking at photographs and reading about them... both in books and online... my eyes burn, my head is going to explode... but ICP has given me a week off before classes start and i guess i am just trying to prep myself... plus i am really feeling lacking in my own inspiration as far as what i will take pictures of. its not easy moving from a place where no matter where you go, everyone pretty much knows you, to a place where you know almost no one... and those you know live in brooklyn or something and you have to schedule appointments with them to meet up.
anyhow, i have also been researching what i think will be my next series... an exploration of my memories through journaling and ultimately photographs... not an easy task but one that i am willing to embark on.
anyhow, try looking at a billion photographs over the course of a few days... its insane... your mind stops working... photographers names run together, you forget things you know you know... its weird...
but its what i want to do for now.
