A Circle of Confusion • Project Statement

2017 marks the seventh year of my passerby project. On my birthday which falls on June 4th I set up a portrait station and make images of random people walking by my studio with an 8 x 10 field camera using paper negatives. This year I made a custom lens that shoots in a circular format to conduct an experiment. Each year I have to make one more portrait to keep up with the number of years I have been breeding. This year I wanted to take a step past just making a photograph. I wanted people to show me their pain and their struggle in a singular image.
