Where We Used To Walk

“I am nothing but a mosaic of the people I have met” – Samuel Miller, A Lite Too Bright

Where We Used to Walk is an ongoing photographic installation series about outgrowing friendships and the way that memories from those friendships are tied to specific significant places. This series explores this with themes of nostalgia, friendship -- specifically the loss and grieving of -- as well as memory, place, and how they all end up tying together. Where We Used to Walk was shot by revisiting and photographing significant sites of action from recently outgrown friendships. Combined with these images are text excerpts from free writes relating to the place or the memory of the friendship.The images were shot in a variety of ways, digitally, 35mm film, and polaroid instant film. The films, along with the handwriting for the text, were digitally scanned. All images are inkjet prints mounted, and the text is adhesive wall vinyl.
