When I left Los Angeles, I did a photo series of 100 different people, places, concepts–things I would or ended up missing about the place. I attempted, but failed to do something similar for Grand Rapids.
As I prepare to move to New York (after this summer’s big activities), my thoughts drift to what I’ll miss about DC. Unlike the other places I’ve lived, I never really felt like I made this strange place my home. Where the LA project was about loss, the Grand Rapids one about moving on, this one seems to be a bit more about creating a present life worth remembering.
The numbers are randomly assigned, implying no order but that of whim. The pictures are mostly original, with a few memories thrown in for good measure. In following most of my work whose purposes are purely selfish and aesthetic, I make no attempts at creating a path for the viewer to follow. It’s more for my own amusement.
