    update from the weekend’s photo sessions

    Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

    Many thanks to everyone who came out for the weekend’s photo sessions. I’ll have some edited pictures soon, but here’s a quick animated recap for now:

    The pace was definitely slower than last time around- I’d forgotten that the reason why the last photo sessions were so successful was because I’d put so much work into [...]

    So, we’re moving forward with an installation on 36th street in a two story vacant storefront, thanks to the kindness of Eastern Mountain Sports and the University of Pennsylvania.

    What could have been, and what’s next…

    Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

    So, we found out this morning that we didn’t get the SEPTA commission, which is a bit of a bummer. But hardly the end of this project…
    The 46th street installation was the catalyst for this idea, but now that we’ve proven that the community photoshoots are logistically feasible, we’re going to be looking for other [...]

    The level of support that this project has been getting from the community is astounding. Not to mention beautiful. The volunteers that helped make the first two photo sessions happen were already pretty fantastic. Now picture this:
    James and I were poring over our proposal, trying to [...]

    Thursday, May 8th, 2008

    We turned in the final proposal packet today, so that’s one more step accomplished. It had a few grammatical mistakes in it ( unfortunately, we’d already printed it out and assembled the 8 packets before our friend The Angry Grammarian caught the minor issues ) - but honestly, a little misplaced comma shouldn’t make a [...]
