6 Feet Or More
2 years and 6 months ago - after being locked inside for a week or two - I devised a socially distanced photo project called “6 Feet Or More”. I rode a bike around taking pictures of friends on medium format b&w with a laser tape measure affixed to the top of the camera. I positioned my subjects all about 10’ away from my 75mm lens and tried to land them in similarly center-punched compositions. I think for myself (and probably the subjects as well), it was much more about seeing a friendly face and finding a way to connect and feel creatively stimulated in a very lonely period of time. I’ve been sitting on these images since then without knowing what to do with them, but enough time has passed that these now feel novel and really mark a particular moment and memory for me.
Anyway, here are a few wonderful people I know.
