Collecting Words is an ongoing project of mine. I capture images of words; single words, phrases, words in graffiti, signage, all kinds of words found across the United States and the world. In 2015 I worked with New Heroes & Pioneers and used some of the 700+ words I have collected to create a book of (very) short (visual) stories. Using the words in the photos to create short narratives, in a refrigerator magnet poetry style. 'Collecting Words' in book form can be purchased here: bookshop.org
To peruse more of my collection you can visit: collectingwords.com
I wrote some things about the experience on Medium: Stories You See: How I Published a Book From an Instagram #tag
The book and project also got some love from Cool Hunting and Lenscratch.
