"We'll meet on the streets."

Silent-Alarm is the name-appropriate for Ashley Nothum's photography/street art side project extraordinaire. The name is fitting because it's simple; the images are giving off a silent alarm that only Ashley seems to hear. I know this because I've been with her when something catches her eye and been completely flabbergasted, yet not surprised at all, when it turns out to be a genius image. That juxtaposition carries over into Ashley's captures; the photos range from flashy kitsch (the blurry red heart reminiscent of a love tunnel carnival ride), to observant (anti-war street graffiti or icicle-laden plants), to candid (the lone musician having a private moment in an alley behind a club), and unexpected (the couple persuaded to don rabbit masks for their engagement pictures). Any number of these images would be appropriate to hang on a wall in my house, or yours and while the prints are not yet available for purchase, please head over to silent-alarm.com and be amazed.

In Ashley's own words, "We'll meet on the streets."
