There are 347 free-standing USPS blue mailboxes in Seattle. And photographer David Peterman took a photo of every single one of them and posted those photos over the course of a year.
In this episode, I talk to David about how the Mailboxes of Seattle project got started, how he planned his photography, and what it was like taking selfies with mailboxes. Did anyone pay attention? I did.
This story requires visuals. You can see David's photos on his site mailboxesofseattle.com. I posted a few select photos and the transcript from this show on thepostcardist.com.
