Purpose of Photographs

At first, I thought I use the photographs to document the guilty, but then I realized that didn't have much meaning. I have been encouraged to think "bigger."

The photographs also serve to give a sampling of traffic at those intersections and on the Interstate. Why is this important?

Building blocks.

To create a system of "cutting-out" streets "block-by-block" from the map of Cedar Rapids, I need a system. It must be simple and implementable (I admit at this point, I'm not in the position to implement the plan. Still, I now have a plan to realize or for someone else to realize).

I'll use the photographs as a starting point. I want a manageable amount of cars to track. I don't want to use peak traffic because the amount of cars going through those intersections would make the tracking meaningless. I want to show progression. It is more meaningful to show the ground gradually crumbling under your feet, than it is for the ground to disappear all of a sudden (meaningful as in ability to mentally process).

After counting cars at both 6th Street & 2nd Avenue SW and 10th Street & 1st Avenue E, I am going to choose 16 cars to participate. I will post next on how they will participate.
