emily and the 114 letters written to her by her by robert while he was on his mission
since jessie and trevor couldn’t narrow their prized possessions down to just one thing, these are a few alternatives.
here are the prized possessions i photographed on tuesday.
jessie‘s boots are morgan freeman approved*
trevor‘s typewriter is just awesome
and the bible that cate‘s sister lucy is holding belonged to brigham young
*wondering about morgan freeman? as the story goes, jessie had just gotten the boots and was wearing them in portland when morgan freeman walked past and said imagine this in his voice:
“those are some real nice boots.”
my friend and co-photographer lucy let me photograph her with her bear (whose name happens to be bear) last night as part of the prized possessions project.
over the next couple of months i will need to produce five more images for this series, so if any of you are interested in being photographed with your favorite thing, leave a comment or email me!
here is the first draft of my artist’s statement about this series…just in case you were curious about my theories about this.
in this project, i’ve sought to catalogue not only prized possessions, but also the stories behind them. this has forced me, as well as my subjects, to think deeply about the objects that are important to us and the reasons we hold them dear.
