DITLOA Citizen Camera

During the most recent Day in the Life of Asheville (DITLOA) on April 19, the project coordinators placed disposable cameras around town and let anyone who wanted take a picture.

As part of the project, I captured these girls using the free cameras at the corner of Patton Ave. and Biltmore (at Pack Square). The results from the citizen cameras were nothing short of stunning. The entire citizen camera photostream can be found on Flickr.

DITLOA is an open-ended art project created by a group of local photographers. Their goal is to produce compelling images while documenting a day in Asheville. I recently joined the group and participated in my first DITLOA during the April 19th shoot. You can see some of the images I shot that day, including the picture used in this post, on my photoblog, A Year in Asheville.

To me, the DITLOA project captures the essence of ephemera and complements perfectly the subject matter found here and on my photoblog.

Thanks for writing about us!
The print component of Day in the Life of Asheville will be coming together this week. Pack Memorial Library will be placing about 150 8x10 prints in their windows. Watch for it.
Thanks again!
