This semester I’m taking Program for Narrative and Documentary Practice, a photography + writing class. Everyone in the class shoots in “Wonderland,” an area the teacher delineates as anywhere north of Mystic Ave, bounded on the west by the Fells and on the Atlantic on the east. The first week he just had us go into Wonderland and get lost in it if we could, in order to begin getting acquainted with it — no photos required. I took some anyway.
Back when it wasn’t nasty out, my friend Matthew and I took a trip to Mount Auburn Cemetery to take some photos. You can see Matthew’s work (as well as some amazing poetry) on Instagram here.
