These cards were all made from photographs taken by each individual. The choice of action/pose for the card was not dictated by me, but by each person on their own, sometimes with some assistance from me. The “facts” on the back are also the unadulterated answers from each individual. This project is meant to play with and question how we present ourselves in the world, how we distill a person’s identity, how so often it seems that friendships are presented as collector’s items, and finally for the sake of tending my nostalgia and how much I wish I could be with these people.

These cards will be printed, the project fulfilled will be one that is tactile, and I will sending sets of these “trading cards” to each individual who assisted me in the project.
