Looking Around is a photo series of the intersections along 72nd Street. How distinct is the north of each avenue from the south? Is everyone on 72nd St headed from or going to Central Park? How close to the shore can one get at either end?
The photos have two formats: as a grid, with each intersection arranged as a column and direction arranged into rows; and in clusters, where images are radially positioned around each intersection. Pressing the spacebar toggles between formats. Clicking any image presents a rapid succession of full-size images, either of all photos within an intersection or all photos in a particular direction across intersections.
The images were collected on the afternoon of Saturday, January 27th, 2018 using an iPhone X.
The image were positioned with D3.js and plotted horizontally by intersection.
Next Steps:
- Crop photos to squares and export two different file sizes: a downsized set for the thumbnail views, and a high-resolution set for full-size view.
- Fix scroll within a container element and not within the whole window, so the image sequence doesn’t need to be repositioned.
