Idea?

Last night while I was lying in bed I was struck by a crazy idea for a photo piece.

I was thinking it would be fabulous to shoot about insanity, and how beautifully classic and wonderful it can be.  I saw this old shack as I was driving down some road, and I thought about how empty and dirty and broken up it is.  But what if I took people in there, into that place with no furniture or linens or pictures or life, and made life out of nothing.

Shooting somebody cooking on the stove, holding an invisible saucepan and talking to their family.  Sitting on the invisible couch as a family, watching TV.  Washing their hands in bathroom sink even though the water has been shut off...

It's a little stupid, it's a lot difficult, but I think it'd be really fun.
