East Oakland Photo Shoot, 9/23/09
This is the photo shoot I did for the first week of my Documentary Photography: Urban Portraits class.
I discovered that I am more terrified of taking pictures of people I don't know than I had previously assumed. This is proven through the fact that my photos contain few people, and that many are taken from a distance. I need to work on this.
This is the photo I ended up turning in for my portrait:
Previous photo, large size:
Migrant Workers
Tow Truck Drivers
Trick
Man on Bike
Shopping Cart Man
Chevron on High Street
E 12th St. and 47th Ave.
Beware of Dog
Hip Hop Smoke Shop
Fifteen
Sidewalk Woman... proof of my overwhelming fear of taking peoples' photos.
WTF this Flickr site is a bit lame. Either I have to pre-resize my photos, or switch to Photobucket. I'm choosing the latter for now.
Taco Truck
Birrieria y Neveria
High Street at International
Atticus and Migrant Workers
