A photograph a day for one year

Jack Kerouac is buried in Edson Cemetery in Lowell, MA, his hometown and birthplace.  The grave is at the intersection of 7th Ave and Lincoln Ave.

 

This project was originally meant to documented the grave site and the objects left as offerings – notes, books, other writing, pens, pencils, bottles of booze, rosary beads. 

 

It became much, much more. 

 

The project became a document of the people I met – people from across the country and from around the world – who came to honor and pay respect to Jack.  

 

As the items changed, the photographs recorded the grave site every day of 2022, the 100th anniversary of Kerouac’s birth.
