28 at 28: an ongoing annual portrait series
by Sam Comen

In my late 20s, I felt that my peers were on the cusp. Some of my friends had found their path, some were achieving their goals, and yet others were directionless. I felt like the next few years would inform the rest of our lives—the perfect time to begin a document of my generation.

When I turned 28-years-old, I photographed 28 of my 28-year-old friends. Last year I shot "29 at 29." This year I'll shoot the same 29 people and add another, making the project "30 at 30." I'll continue this same format, and follow this same group, documenting each year of change.
