ABOUT WALKING DISTANCE
Walking Distance is a traveling photo zine project. Small printed editions are left in public places, found by strangers, logged online, and sometimes passed on.
Every issue is printed in a small edition and left somewhere in the world: on a park bench, in a café, along a river path, tucked into a bookshelf, waiting to be discovered.
Each copy has its own identity. When somebody finds one, they can log it, leave a note, add a photograph, and pass it on. Over time, every copy develops its own history.
Most photographs disappear into feeds. Walking Distance moves in the opposite direction: slow, physical, unpredictable.
The project is an experiment in chance encounters, small acts of participation, and the idea that a photograph can travel through people instead of algorithms.
Find a copy. Scan the QR code. Log where it surfaced. Keep it or pass it on. Watch its journey grow.
No account is required. An approximate location is enough. The copy’s page becomes a record of where it has been.
Issue 001 released.
15 copies in circulation.
More issues will appear as the project grows.
Walking Distance is created by Bartosz Koszowski, a Polish-born documentary photographer based in the Boston area.
His work explores place, memory, community, and the small details that shape everyday life. This project extends that practice into a physical object that can move through the city and gather traces from strangers.
