Vehicles of Amherst College, March-May 1996 |
|
|
In the spring of 1996, I decided to try to photograph as many official, numbered College
vehicles as I could find, with interesting backgrounds and locations if possible. Over the
course of three months, I captured 31, with numbers ranging from 1 to 141. I had a number
of the photographs developed, but one particular roll of black and white film I decided
to have developed as a contact sheet to see if I really wanted to pay to have the whole
roll developed.
I didn't do much about the project my senior year, and the
following summer, I moved all of my boxes into a basement storage area beneath the
apartment I was to move into in the fall. After a road trip
to Alaska, I returned in the fall and found that the basement had flooded, turning to
goo many of my photographs. This contact sheet is all that remains of the short-lived
Vehicles of Amherst College project, one of my first forays into Amherstiana. Click a
