"The lamppost images were inspired by “Gone Missing” or “For Rent” signs one might come across while walking in the street. I had the intention of contrasting the mundane with the unusual or exciting by inserting what I thought would be out of the ordinary imagery into these everyday locations. I purposely wanted to do a few on streets where one might not expect to see an ad so that when I left the printed images on each of the lampposts it would unexpectedly add value to someone’s day because they ingested a different type of image that they may not be used to."
