I haven't been able to pin that down, yet. lol

Thank you. I believe it's going to happen. Something is always inspiring an image I can create. If you've seen my photos on the Show Your Own Art Here thread, this one (2h:15m to set up, :20m to shoot lol) was inspired by a scene in the music video for Murray Head's, One Night in Bangkok.
Somehow, I came up with the idea, "Bucket of Nails" as a title or theme for a story I've been wanting to write, but now I see how I can use it for a photo, instead. (And I know where to get an old, wooden bucket of nails, too!)
I'm currently listening to Ancient Dreams, by Patrick O'Hearn (formerly of Missing Persons), and one song title, Beauty in Darkness, has always been an inspiration for me to do something photographic with it since the album came out in '85. I often see myself in a large studio, only the modeling lights on, with someone or something being the image of that song title. The song, of course, playing in the background.
I've wanted to travel the United States and photograph bridges and tunnels in all parts of the country, consolidate the pictures into a book and title it, Over, Under and Through.
Have you seen Somewhere in Time? I've always wanted to recreate the portrait of Elise McKenna.
Just a few of the reasons I want a studio and a darkroom, and plenty of time and money to do what I want. . . . Somehow, it's going to happen.
Or maybe I'm just having a mid-life crisis. lol
