Strangers Project
For this project I took photographs of strangers that stuck out to me. I then interviewed them to get a glimpse of their story.
“Weddings tend to be very stressful situations to shoot and the mother of the bride’s aren’t easy to deal with because they want everything to go the way they want it to go. Sometimes their daughters aren’t as pretty as they think they are and sometimes the weather isn’t as good as they hoped it’d be.”
“What’s one piece of advice you’d give”
“Over prepare.”
“When’s one time you didn’t?”
“This morning”
“You get knowledge from the cradle to the grave. You’re always learning something new.”
“Instead of the midas touch I got the exact opposite the “mudice” touch. Everything I touched turned to mud until I met this.”
“I know less now than I knew 25-30 years ago.”
“When I was in high school I thought I was a hotshot and there was this one girl that would keep beating me because she’d practice for three hours a day and I wasn’t. It’s really important when you get into something like this to be humble.”
“We’re kinda boring. I tased a guy once that was out of his mind intoxicated. He was extremely intoxicated and very violent. She came at her with a brick as I was pulling up. Once he was arrested he kicked through my window and I had to tase him.”
“What’s one way you’re struggling right now?”
“Politicians are struggling.”
