See Also responds to the New York Public Library Picture Collection as a social environment and place for sharing knowledge and learning from each other. Working on-site at the Collection, I watched as researchers looked at pictures and talked with them about what they saw. These conversations became a way to meet people, with project participants letting me into their research in the Collection and most importantly, their lives outside the library. The resulting photography book See Also: Making Friends at the NYPL Picture Collection documents the relationships that emerged from looking at pictures together. The book is available to buy online or check out from the Portland State University library.

I created this project and book as part of the 2022 Picture Collection Artist Fellowship which supports artists or scholars engaged in the research, development, and/or execution of a new creative or scholarly work based on the Collection’s holdings.
