Wait and watch.
I choose and photograph vibrant and engaging third spaces from one vantage point as time passes and the scenes change — people walk by, a train pulls in, or clouds drift above us — and always, the space moves, shifts, and evolves.
By combining and overlaying the images, new images emerge that reveal the vitality of the space over time, showing how the space is engaged by the population. Unlike what can be captured with the classic single image, a public space is revealed to be filled with life, energy and memory. The experience of the single documentary instant is multiplied, letting the viewer feel the movement and change within the photograph, as if they were sitting there, taking in the scene themselves.
All images are available as archival pigment prints approximately 24" x 34" for $500 unframed or 9" x 14" for $200 unframed, edition of 3.
