“I expected to have something profound come out of it. Something that would generate a larger story and a poignant message.”

Actually I think you did. Every one of those photos says to me “This is what I see.” In a way it is an old analog way of reproducing our digital connection – each person sharing “this is what I see” and somehow the whole being more than the sum of its parts. If you did multiple topics you would have a really great book.

I love photo 10/11. It reminds me of the Michael Sowa picture “Diving Pig”…sans pig. What a great project, it would be interesting to see a photo set for each season. My daughter is finishing up her fine arts photo degree at the Corcoran. I’ll be sending her a link. BTW, there is a great series being rebroadcast on Ovation this weekend – Genius of Photography. It’s six one hour long episodes. My best to you and the missus.

This is great Tony, I felt like I was reading a story book. Each picture has so much character.

Absolutely stunning in concept and execution. The results of any collaboration are amazing and often unexpected but this takes it to another level. With each person only able to see the field notes of the previous person, it is astounding how the common themes emerged and overlapped (sometimes literally). Thanks for sharing the experience with us.

This is exactly why you are such a talent! So many great, thoughtful and inspiring ideas. I love this experiment. The resulting photos are so nostalgic.

I’ve had a roll of film in my Holga for over a year. I have no idea what is on half of it. I’m going to finish it off this weekend and get it developed!

That. Is. Totally. Awesome.

And I’m totally jealous that you did something so awesome.

The good kind of jealous, of course.
