Photo 402 Assignment #1





This is Erin and I met her in Walmart. (I practically live in there, but I specifically went to Walmart for this assignment this time.) I tried to use the FORD technique I learned about a few days ago.
She's from outside of Pittsburgh, PA and is currently working here in State College. She also enjoys photography but she isn't committed to it and doesn't really know much. Erin dreams about becoming very successful and traveling in her job, which I can relate to 100%. She has one older sister, a dog, and a cat. I also managed to find out that she's been to about 18 states, including Pennsylvania.
It was a rather awkward experience for a few reasons. I've never went up to someone random and asked to take their picture before and it isn't like the person asked for a picture, or in this case several pictures. Although I am friendly, I don't know how to make small talk or befriend someone either. I didn't have any natural light since it was dark outside and I'm still learning how to do night time photography, so I had to rely on the light I had and my flash since I didn't have a tripod. I should've prepared for this better, and thought ahead more.
