In 2016, LensWork Magazine introduced Seeing in Sixes. A simple concept, create six separate interrelated images. The idea was to stimulate photographers by using this concept. It was a way to jump-start the creative process. They would publish annually the 50 best projects they received. The submissions were worldwide. Several of my colleagues used the concept to start their projects. A few submitted theirs for consideration. The last Seeing in Sixes series ended in 2019.
In July 2017, I met with Patty Hankins, a fellow photographer. We discussed my first solo exhibit opening in October 2018. During the discussion, she emphasized having a centerpiece or anchor for the exhibition. The exhibition was titled The Color in Black & White. The show consisted of black and white prints only. Towards the end of our discussion, Patty challenged me to do a Seeing in Sixes project, maybe something that might end up in the exhibition. I found that intriguing, if not thought-provoking.
