I have a new post up for my project Icons of Arlington, this time all about Arlington Center. Check it out if you want to know how unspeakably thrilling my hometown is.

Here’s PNDP assignment #8: to shoot 6 pictures of highways and 6 pictures of the woods. I chose to do graphically matched pairs of photos to compare the two settings. Some of the parallels are obvious; others, less so. I’d love to hear what you think about it. For this assignment, I wanted to draw…
Here’s PNDP assignment #6: go to another game by the same team as the previous assignment, and shoot away from the action.
