For the past few months, you’ve been posing with every publicly accessible blue mailbox in Seattle and documenting it on your website, Mailboxes of Seattle. Why?
Over the last several years, I’ve done numerous large-scale photography projects that have featured up to 100 naked people each. I wanted to take a break from that, and I couldn’t think of anything more different from a naked person than a mailbox.
How many publicly accessible mailboxes ARE there in Seattle?
I have about 375 on my list, and as of now I’ve visited about half of them. Occasionally, however, I go to a location only to find the box is long gone. Their numbers are dwindling, which should surprise absolutely no one.
