For two years, Paul Octavious has been visiting this mound of earth and documenting what he's seen. I love the idea of recording the life of a hill—it's very Giving Tree-ish. What did the hill give up for us so that we could fly a kite or play soccer or go sledding? The earth turns into a character in the story instead of being the setting. I think if we're lucky, we all have a tree/river/hill that's more of a supporting cast member than a place in the story of our lives. What's yours?
Paul also has a handful of other projects on his site. Another one that I was particularly drawn to was "The Book Collection" in which he arranged books to form mostly numbers. There's something about the way he did it that is very moody to me. The photograph itself has a vintage feel and his choices regarding the color and succession of the books is quite well done. The books become a whole as opposed to individual objects.
