Kurt's been working with the Washington State Arts Commission's Art in Public Places program and the University of Washington Tacoma to bring photographer Dawoud Bey to the campus. As a continuation of his ongoing project photographing pairs of strangers, Dawoud is in Tacoma this week, creating something like a collective portrait of the community. He spent yesterday at King's Bookstore doing his magic with five different sets of subjects, aided by a group of four great UW Tacoma students, the staff of King's and a really friendly cat named Miko.
