Andrew at Chapoquoit March 1, 2023
This is an idea I’ve been thinking about for several years: collect images and audio from the many people I meet while at the beach. It is stolen (“inspired by” sounds better) from Brandon Stanton and his wonderful Humans of New York project. Others have copied him as well. I’ve been going to Chapoquoit with my camera for years and during that time I’ve had many chance encounters with people curious about what I’m doing. So often they start talking to me and saying extraordinary things that I want to capture, but I usually can’t think fast enough to ask them if I can record them. If I can train myself to be ready for these serendipitous events, I think they would make a nice collection.
