Stranger Portraits

5/3/2011

This Friday at the "First Friday Art Trail" i will be among the crowds taking portraits of people who i have just introduced myself to. A Stranger Project is something i have been wanting to start for some time now; capturing a variety of personalities. My goal is to get as many portraits as possible at the art trail, and to continue on through the weekend until i have 50 different portraits total. We shall see how this goes. Ill keep the website updated as the weekend progresses.

UPDATE: 50 was too many for this weekend, instead i am going to slowly add to it over time, that way i'm not rushing the pictures.

Here is the link. Strangers

Bio

   My name is Paul and I currently live in Lubbock, Tx. I enjoy playing Paintball, Cycling, anything involving electronics, and Photography to name a few.

   My interest in photography actually stemmed from an interest in videography. At an early age i would make home videos featuring exploding hotwheels, primitive horror films and even the more adventurous videos of my friends and i bombing hills on longboards and home made street luges. It was when i started dabbling in stop motion videography that i became interested in photography. I started out with my mother's point and shoot, yet i felt like there was so much untapped potential unachievable with her camera that i decided rather quickly that i needed a better one. By this time i had a job and after a couple of months got myself a bigger better camera. I joined a camera club in high school and a few years after graduating i got my hands on a Pentax DSLR. Pentax really appealed to me because of the enormous amount of compatibility with older, less expensive lenses.

   Photography has been a part of my life for about 7 years now, although it has been a serious passion for only about 2-4 years on and off.
