Talking to Strangers

I am shooting more environmental portraits lately. One reason is that I'm trying to satisfy an assignment for a class I'm taking at the Center for Documentary Studies, at Duke University. Photographing complete strangers is both terrifying and fantastic; you have to get buy-in from the participants, condense a lot of visual information quickly, and pray for a good outcome.
