The artist's description of the project:

The Lance Project consists of images of young men who resemble in some small way my friend Lance. The images constitute a composite portrait of him. Though I knew Lance for eight years, he died without my ever having his photograph.

The rest of it is here, and the artist has a web site too.

I found this moving and beautiful project via John Morris, who runs the Digging Pitt gallery in Pittsburgh. I first heard of him and the gallery via the artist (and Pittsburgh native ) Emily Noelle Lambert.
