We chose to shoot everything at a distance of about one meter, which was easy because we were working with rangefinder cameras. We appreciated the forensic quality that the strobe created. We were both huge fans of a series of photos from Luc Sante’s book, Evidence, where the photographer had placed the camera underneath the tripod and shot straight down on crime scenes."
"KT: How did you edit 9000 negatives into a project?
WM: The photographs were all taken between 2004 and 2007, but we spent about two additional years working with and living with the photographs. We began by sorting the photographs into piles of similars. We then worked to tease out the photographs that we felt were most successful and representative of the range of places we had visited and of the variety of objects we had stumbled upon."
