Common Places
These photographs are from my project called Common Places. I use a few word plays to develop the concept.
First, I made these images in parks — places held in common, set aside from private development.
Also, these pictures are of unremarkable places. While I love to climb in the Adirondacks this work is about common parks near my home in Fayetteville, New York.
Finally, I am interested in the use — primarily in the 1700s — of the commonplace, a scrapbook of sorts in which people collected stimulating quotes, letters and printed items. These pictures are my commonplace.
