Recently, Dave and I reignited a collaborative project that's been in the making for over a year. The general idea was to photograph ourselves at various Revolutionary War sites around Boston, playing with the idea of tourism and inserting ourselves as a same-sex couple into the historical narrative of American "revolutionaries". That Boston was the city where the American Revolution began, and over 200 years later was the site of the court decision that made Massachusetts the first state in the nation to recognize same-sex marriage was intriguing to us. We were also reacting to what was then the fledgling craze for tea and tri-cornered hats that some Americans were having, and wanted our own piece of the action.
