EDICATED TO “CROWDSOURCING THE SPIRIT OF DURHAM,” PICTUREDURM (@picturedurm on Instagram) is a collection of photos chosen from users who share the #picturedurm hashtag. A passion project by founder Meredith Martindale, the scroll-worthy feed helps people connect with the city by capturing Bull City culture. “I founded PictureDURM out of a need to document and preserve the city, to give all people a voice to share their perspective and to bring the community together through the arts,” she says. “From the beginning, I’ve wanted the project to be as inclusive as possible.” So far, the account has gathered nearly 7,000 pictures from nearly as many users, motivating photographers like Xaris A. Martínez and Brandon Robinson (above) to keep snapping photos. “I love getting to see other people’s adventures in – and views of – the city,” Xaris says. “Which, in turn, inspires me to go out and explore.” “The more diverse the photographers and photographs,” Meredith says, “the richer the experience.” – Melina Casados 6
