Project 17 and 18

Project 17

I always feel a bit uneasy when I ask strangers if I can take a picture of them. I think it's the fact that I might be intruding on their life or that they might say no which would leave me with a photo rejection feeling. So, this morning I walked around Santa Ana and asked about 8 random strangers for a picture. There were a few people that laughed and then said no. There was one woman that said "later"... but when was later? I had no idea. There was a daughter that wanted a picture, but a father that said no. Then there were two guys, from two different stores, who had almost the same names and they allowed me to take a picture. As shown below:


Thanks Eddie and Edward!

Project 18
It was the end of the day and I had no ideas for a project that would make me feel uncomfortable..... until I went to Target with my friend and we saw the lingerie. I put on the size D bra over my shirt and walked around target. The people there would look and then immediately look down like they were caught looking at something wrong. I felt pretty at ease, at times I didn't feel like I even had an extra bra on. I think my friend was more embarrassed than me. HEHE.
