Feeling stale, I
decided to do something that makes me uncomfortable - taking portraits of
strangers. To put myself at ease, I started up a conversation with a potential
subject. Responses ranged from “Definitely not” to “Well, OK” to “Sure, why not?” It helped if a
subject wanted to joke around. I handed each a card with my email address on
it, so that they could contact me for a copy of the shot.
“Lady Smoking”: she couldn’t
understand why I wanted to photograph her. When I convinced her how
eye-catching and interesting she appeared, she gave me a “Well, OK.’
“Two Retired Men”: These guys were a
lot of fun. They gave me a “Sure, why not?”
