This past weekend I went to Cincinnati to shoot an amazing collection of mermaids for a project I’m working on. My friend Megan has been collecting mermaids of all shapes and sizes since she was a little kid. The result is a bedroom completely covered with them, and boxes and boxes in storage…
Recently I’ve become fascinated with the relationship we humans have with our “things.” I’ve started various photo projects to help me explore this, one of which deals with interesting collections. If you collect something, I’d love to talk to you. It doesn’t matter what it is you collect, it just needs to be somewhat interesting and extensive. It doesn’t matter where you live, I’ll come to you. Below are a couple of images that I’ve shot to start off the series, just to give you an idea of what I’m looking for:
