Like This! The Photography of Sedrick Miles

The State of Things
w/ Frank Stasio
WUNC-FM

Photographer Sed Miles has spent the last three years documenting people and events in North Carolina. Miles, who has been living in Durham, is preparing to travel the world armed with a camera and not much else. But before he leaves, he will pay homage to the faces and places of the Bull City with an exhibit called “Like This.” Many of the images on display have been viewed before on Facebook, but Miles’ goal is for the members of his adopted community to log off of the Internet and experience his work in the presence of friends and neighbors. Miles joins host Frank Stasio to talk about what happens when fine art meets Facebook.
