This project, which I do in my spare time, all started when I was walking around Petworth, DC with friends and thought it would be interesting to see a book documenting every alleyway in the city. So, with the assistance of several friends who volunteer to help, we canvas certain parts of the city and photograph the alleyways we come across. I ‘square’ off a part of the city, generally a 14 x 14 street blocks. With the help of the DC Zoning Map, we mark every alleyway we photograph on the map and the corresponding photograph number, so that I know the location of every photograph.

I plan on posting a small sample of the photographs from the excursions every once in a while. One day I would hope to have them all published in volumes, organized by neighborhood.
