More Eyes on Trapped

When I started the project on mental illness in prison, I was hoping that a lot of people outside of the photo world would have the opportunity to see it.

Although it has only been published on my website at this point, I am seeing how something can go “viral”. When the project first launched at the end of March, I had a lot of hits from the photo community and while I was happy to see that other photographers were looking at the project, the site is now circulating the mental health and news blogospheres.

Thanks to the Internet, other people have done a great job of marketing this project. It really is amazing how one blog will post a link and then another blogger will link to it and so on. And while some sites I am sure are seeing hundreds of thousands of hits on a project, I am pretty happy that now more than 35,000 people have seen my project.

So thank you to those bloggers who are helping to spread this project around and to those visitors who are kind enough to respond to the piece.
