– collaboration, curation, photography, publication,
One City Left was a collaborative photography project that took place in 2008. I sent ten individuals in five different North American cities (Edmonton, Montreal, New York, San Francisco and Vancouver) disposable cameras and asked them to photograph "their city." The cameras were then returned to me, and included on a website and later a print publication.
"When the equipment is kept minimal and uniform, we see how personal perspectives' create very different interpretations of seemingly the same subject matter. One City Left is a project about its participants, and documenting the culture, places, and experiences they encounter. By capturing these distinct moments in each individual's life, we record history."
Participants: Jason Andrescavage (SF), Mark Alexandrino (MTL), Johanna Beyenbach (NY), Ryan Frizzell (MTL), Jason Karpman (SF), Wesley O'Driscoll (Edm.), Heron Preston (NY), Adam Shaw (Van), Monty Suwannukul (SF)
