The purpose of The AP Collection is to collect stories from the people around me.
We tell each other stories to learn about and relate to one another. It's the basic way in which we get to know people and build relationships. The stories we create within our own personal network strengthens those bonds throughout our lifetime. I want to collect these stories and create portraits of the people I talk to using their own words and storytelling voice.
My focus is mainly on those who are also ‘creative types.’ Actors, comedians, writers, visual artists, and musicians share the common urge to create, share, and reflect upon their craft with the world and I hope to collect a snapshot into their world. This doesn't mean I won’t also sit down with anyone else who has a great story that they really want to tell.
Still want to talk? Send an email to [email protected] or message The AP Collection on the ol'Facebook. Twitter is cool... @apcollector
