Things I'm thinking about

Here are some themes I've been brainstorming:

People that you run into everyday who you have small one minute conversations with and get to know them through routine (could make a cool commercial).
Places that are so large they are overlooked.
Places everyone goes to during the day but at night they are empty.
Private places in Public Spaces (could even be thinking with everything going on around you).
Places you've been to so many times but never got to know.
Bringing a sense of intimacy into NJ.
Things that aren't desirable but have personal attachment.
Traces of people in the environment, things people leave behind.
NJ as the crossroads.

METAPHORS FOR ROADS
fork in the road - choice between two directions in a persons life
the road not taken - the path in life a person didn't go down
crossroads - when people lives cross each others
it's a bumpy road ahead - life won't be easy in the foreseeable future
the long and winding road - life is long and there are many turns
along the way
the information super highway - the fast exchange of information
on the internet
road rage - a frustrated driver

NIGHT ASSOCIATIONS
night as fear
night as unconsciousness
night as loneliness
night as peace
night as death
night as a dreaminess
night as rest
night as intimacy
