WILLING ABSURDISM

"When I was taking photos, I was often across the street and would have to time them so I wouldn’t be blocked by a bus or a car, and it’s funny to hear how fast cars are moving when you’re waiting for pedestrians to get in the frame of the camera," says Nan's spouse, Drew Masterman. He trailed the entire carry, parking his car every few blocks to take a picture, which proved challenging on Congress Street and some of the cross streets. "I was amused to see traffic stop for you all on India Street and others, like on Franklin Arterial, have no damn intention of slowing down – that was really quite funny," he jokes. Ultimately, Drew is entertained and intrigued by The 100 Carry Project and hopes more volunteer for the experience. "I loved watching it interrupt other people’s days and them having no idea what was going on. Witnessing it through town, through the downtown section of Portland, it manages to be both challenging intellectually and a bit of willing absurdism."
