CANON and Grey Global recently commissioned me to create four bodies of work for the PIXMA PRO CITY SENSES campaign, a unique sensory photo exhibition sharing the vision of “Iconic Boston”.  The goal of the campaign was to create images around sensory triggers that are iconic to the city of Boston with the photos later featured at an interactive pop-up.  The Sensory triggers were;

Hops-Smell

Cobblestone-Touch 

Clam Chowder-Taste 

T-Sound

 
My inspiration for the work was being able to translate each sense with focus on the strong community and lunch pail roots that gives Boston it’s pulse.


These images were shot to represent Cobblestone:

Looking at showing the structural integrity of the Boston, I researched the building material sourced locally from the area. My search led me to the many quarries in Massachusetts, many of which haven’t been excavated since the 20’s. Most are now used as local swimming holes that people drive from all over to enjoy. I saw the parallel between the quarries initial use of building cities and towns that allowed for our communities to develop and the more recent mirco-community developed around jumping from and swimming in the now water filled quarries.
