COVID-19

STORE & SHOP FRONTS

PROJECT & GUIDE

HERE’S THE WWWW&H


I tried to pull this project from my end only

But it really doesn’t work without co-operation from the “models” and owners..

So….

Here’s a draft version of this project as it stands at the moment…

 

WHAT

             Documenting the stores, shops and Restaurants of New London during the Pandemic.


WHERE

             Right where you are.  Directly in front of your workspaces

 

WHEN

             I’ll post some useful helps (like for instance, don’t have your people heading right at  the sun..) but probably the most important thing is to do this at a convenient time for you.      Probably just before you start your work day, which can be 7:00AM or 1:00PM. 

 

WHY

             This is really an extension of a documentational project that I am doing in conjunction       with New London Landmarks.

             While this started with photographing the buildings themselves with LE500 (Live       Expectancy 500) style of HABS-like images       (https://www.habsphoto.com/Artist.asp?ArtistID=14047&AKey=E4VXE478&ajx=1#!asset21634) it       eventually evolved to logging the people who worked with those buildings themselves.

 

HOW

             When you determine the WHAT, WHERE, and WHEN parts I will enter into the How  part.  

                You will provide the models.

                Hopefully, appropriately dressed in your work clothes.

                Aprons, Jackets, “Corporate” T-Shirts or whatever…

                See the one above for example.

                Remember this is film..  We don’t take a million images… maybe a half a dozen at the most.  And the process is not super fast either usual I need a few seconds to change film for each image.

            

It’s really helpful if I know who all the players are.
