16mm, water, women

How does one go about selecting a photograph that is good enough for an exhibition but that can never be seen again?
I just finished working on this image and figured it was the right time and place for this to be shown; even if for just one hour.

What are your thoughts on letting go of this image?
We let go of so many things, why shouldn’t this be one of them.

2-3pm: Tyler McPhee

Describe the photograph selected for One Hour Photo in three words:
Playful, Curious, Iconic

How does one go about selecting a photograph that is good enough for an exhibition but that can never be seen again?
The images from this series are a set of Bigfoot sightings recontextualized to the former No Man’s Land area between East and West Berlin Germany. I think there’s actually something pretty poetic about the fact that they’ll never be seen again. It’s a fleeting moment, a Bigfoot sighting. Sometimes they’re documented and sometimes they’re just told through a story that substantiates the creatures existence.

What are your thoughts on letting go of this image?
I’m really happy that I could share the project with an audience, however anonymous that relationship may be.
