_cokwr: Take a portrait of a total stranger each day for 7 days. Try to capture their image in a way that gives the viewer a deeper understanding of the person. Write a little about how you approached the person and what you learned about them. This assignment is part photography challenge but the harder part, in my opinion, is forcing yourself to interact with strangers in a fairly personal way. , _cpzh4: Visual, _cre1l: http://www.dannyst.com/shooting-portraits-of-strangers/, _chk2m: Tom, _ciyn3: 29, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:
