Stranger #5

Joplin, MO

This beauty of a man introduced himself as Elvis. I am so fortunate to have been in the right place (Waffle House, Joplin MO) at the right time (2330, Tuesday September 28, 2010) to capture the (slightly intoxicated) King in all his glory.

Stranger #3

Denver, Colorado

There's nothing quite like sleeping in a bookstore. Or library.

When I was between places to sleep in Oregon, I would open at Starbucks (0430-1300) and then hit the library to "study." Which means I would open my microbiology book on my lap and settle in for a delectable nap. The homeless men always got to the good spots first, sadly. :(

Oh, I hear it's so-so

But it is no, no Colorado

Stranger #2

Denver, Colorado

Things I learned on my first stranger-shooting jaunt:

-I'm an incredible wuss.

-People REALLY know when a camera is pointed at them.

-I can run faster than expected on my bum ankle.

stranger danger

Photo Project #2: 50 Strangers.

I'm slightly panicked. Don't worry about it.

I'll post photos of these people the day I shoot them, if they don't shoot ME before I can get to a computer.

Yikes.

Stranger #1:

Portland, Oregon.

Nice Chucks.

study of hands finale

Thanks go to the Cortesis, Christies, Souders, Handys, and Roberts for helping me finish this project.

It's been real.

missing my roadtrip buddies...

wedding number 5...

study of hands

And then EVERYONE wanted in on this nonsense one week before its completion?!

This is not me complaining.

Thanks to Joy, Linds, Jonah, Mikey, and Josh this week.

ooooooh snap.

This illegally captured moment in time has been brought to you by the Getty Museum and Jen's inability to read clearly marked museum signs prohibiting photography.

study of hands - 8.20.10

Only two more weeks of all the hand photos. I found a new project to conquer, starting September 10, and I am slightly nervous. More about why in two weeks...

Thanks to the Oakes family for the use of their hands this week.
