Welcome to the blog for the saycheeseannarbor experiment (say cheese, Ann Arbor). It is here that we, the experimenters, will post the photos taken from our various cameras anchored around several mobile and immobile points in Ann Arbor. If you’ve arrived at this site, firstly, thanks. We’re glad that you’ve stumbled upon one of our primitive installations and are seriously excited to see what you’ve captured.
Essentially, the initial motivation for this has been to find alternative ways of interpreting the city at large. Our sites have been chosen to be deliberately diverse, including the picturesque, the dilapidated, the crowded, the sparse, the urban and the suburban. That said, it’s also very important that we have no intention of what the content of these photos will be, nor are we biased toward them beyond the fact that they may offer distinctly different views of Ann Arbor.
We don’t, however, claim that this is an original or revolutionary idea–we’re sure it has been done, and probably done better. The ways that, within our own usual routine and environment, an individual can discover often-overlooked details is infinitely more interesting than a pursuit of pure originality.
And contrary to the title of this post, this is not a German endeavor.
Looking forward.
