September 3rd 2011

Yesterday was a pretty interesting day. Im really stoked with the pictures I got from it. I've been getting a lot more comfortable with approaching people on the streets to get their portraits. When I take portraits of people on the streets I try to hear about their lives so I can take portrait that resembles their personality. I don't want to just take the picture and runaway. It's crazy how open people are to getting their portrait taken. Everyone is so different, it's amazing hearing their stories.

For some reason this photo reminds me of the Arctic. I wish I actually went to the Arctic when I took this photo.
