This week has been filled with some really amazing conversations about how to get TRUNK PDX off the ground. TRUNK is a concept that has been evolving in my mind for some time now. Our lives are fast paced and as we rush through our days we often lose sight of ourselves and of others. This project focuses on people who opt for a form of transportation other then cars, and lose the ability to bring whatever, wherever in their trunk, glove box, or backseat. Instead, they have co-opted the backpack and made it their portable trunk. The contents of a trunk say a lot about a person and their daily life.
Our goal is to photograph people, their bags, and the contents within as a way of exploring how they acclimate to their ever moving, ever changing lives. Entering into these places of privacy help us better understand our friends, perfect strangers, and a trend that has emerged from necessity. So, check out the blog from time to time and see what turns up as we invade the more private side of local commuters.
