Craig Shepard and I have begun work on a book of photos and writing from his “On Foot: Brooklyn” project. At the moment there are no deadlines or schedules – we are just gathering the media we have, organizing, scanning, writing, editing, researching, and browsing through bookstores. It’s an exciting time – I’m not sure exactly where we are headed, and that’s a good thing. Right now we can just experiment, play and entertain any ideas that come up.
I’m in the midst of sifting through the thousands and thousands of photos I took on the thirteen Sunday walks, both en route and during the performances. I have photos from all over this large land mass we call home. Brooklyn is 71.82 square miles according to the Census Bureau. Of course we didn’t cover every square mile, but we passed through a good portion of it. I plan to include photos representing the vast diversity of architecture, people, landscapes and ecology that the real-heart-shaped boundary of Kings County (aka Brooklyn) encompasses.
