top Lauren from Bethesda, MD

Significant Stranger Project. I invited anyone I have never met before (via craigslist) to send me a self portrait and a newspaper from the town they live in. I'm slowly creating works of art by combining those two things together. This is Lauren from Maryland.

top Elizabeth from Chowchilla, CA

Significant Stranger Project. I have been corresponding with Elizabeth since 2004. We have never met, probably won't ever meet, but will always be connected.

top Lost and Found

Significant Stranger Project. I often take walks in the city I live in and notice a great deal of clothing left on the side of the road. It always strikes me and I often wonder who used to wear the clothes--what kind of life did this t-shirt used to live? So, I decided to sort of pay tribute to the life of a t-shirt and the mystery behind clothing that gets left behind.

Part of the "Morning Picture Project." This participant gave me the exact time she woke up in the morning when she sent me her morning pictures. I thought a clock was the perfect way to make her a part of this show.
