While in Seattle on shoot last week we decided to go check out the Experience Music Project. To my surprise the Hatch Show Print created by the Smithsonian Traveling Exhibition Service was there on exhibit. For those of you who are unfamiliar the Hatch Show Print was established in the late 1800′s in Nashville and is one of the oldest letterpress operations still in existence. These works of ephemeral art reveal the impressive variety of American entertainment, products and life in the 20th century.
Back in July we worked with photographer Matt Kalinowski to photograph over 650 portraits of people that make up Boston’s Downtown Crossing neighborhood. Those portraits were then used to wrap the construction site of One Franklin, a new building that is being constructed in the heart of Boston’s meeting place, Downtown Crossing. Check out some more images of the construction wrap, and read about some of the other Downtown Crossing projects we’ve worked on, including the identity which was recently featured on Under Consideration’s Brand New blog, all after the jump.

Also props to friends of 160over90, Matt Bednarik, Chris Van Auken, and Allan Espiritu of GDLoft, for getting some of their work in as well.
