Plastic Portraits is a project that seeks to explore our relationship with plastics. People in this world interact with plastics on a daily basis. From single-use, disposable items, to medical and technological equipment that many of us find essential to our lives, plastic is so integrated that we often use and interact with it without being aware of it.
By photographing different people with the plastics they use daily, this project opens the door to thoughtfulness and discussion around the plastics in our lives. It raises awareness of the ubiquitous presence plastic has in our world and hopefully will spark individuals to make more thoughtful, informed decisions regarding their own plastic consumption.
Today I had the opportunity of photographing at the Intrepid Museum's Space and Science Festival!
It was a treat to witness such things. For example: Andrew Dawson enacts the Apollo moon landing with his hands, Steve Howell and Bill Yosses present a science and cooking demonstration, and Final Frontier designs put a civilian in an actual space suit! Here are some of the highlights from today.
