Hav­ing spent 4 years in the Dis­trict of Colum­bia, I feel almost imme­di­ate kin­ship with other artists hail­ing from the Mid-​​Atlantic region (par­tic­u­larly if they’re doing inter­est­ing work, though the shitty work can be pretty engag­ing also). Work of the for­mer cat­e­gory that has recently caught my atten­tion, the SAME TIME Project is a col­lab­o­ra­tion between Brad Walker (Bal­ti­more, Md.), a graphic designer, and Michael Lease (Rich­mond, Va.). For a year, the two take a pho­to­graph every night at 7:15 pm. They are paired side by side, and the rather exten­sive gallery, divided month by month, yields some gems. I might sug­gest los­ing the cap­tions or turn­ing them into roll-​​over image descrip­tions instead, but on the whole the project works well, espe­cially con­sid­er­ing the size of the undertaking.
