Project: Facebook Friends

Started in 2012, this project is an attempt to take a purposeful and beautiful portrait of each of my 1200+ friends on FB. As my friends are flung across the globe, I expect this project to take many years. And, as I travel, I will meet new people and make new friends, so hopefully, it will never end.

Number of FB friends on January 1st, 2016: 1,264.
