Strangers in New York

Last Oct/Nov, I went to the Big Apple with some good friends.

In addition to the standard tourist photos, I decided to capture strangers going about their everyday big city life.

I was pretty sneaky about it... sometimes holding my camera at hip-level and hoping my random snapping would yield some artistic results. And I think it did.

100 Faces + The Sights of Portland

Devan (of Mad Cap Photography) and I spent our day in downtown Portland, looking for people willing to have their picture taken. We will be posting all of our pictures on a collaborative blog (click to view), but here are a few of my favorites from my camera.

This was a neat experience. I’m not sure when I will do it again, since it was rather exhausting, but it was a satisfying challenge – artistically and personally.

                   

Awkward Moments

Suffice to say, the whole day was fairly awkward, but we’ll fondly remember a few experiences.

• Waking up an hour later than we anticipated.
• Getting lost before we got to our first destination.
• Mixing several exits due to GPS difficulties.
• Searching in vain for a public bathroom.
• Trying to explain exactly what we were doing… and then having to explain again because it didn’t make sense the first time.
• Hesitantly jaywalking.
