Well today was kinda a fail...

Well I woke up fully hoping to go out and photograph some people for my project. I did have a camera ready but then its owner ended up needing it...so...I was not able to go out. It also was pretty rainy today in Gville so that effected my plans as well. Hopefully I can find some time to go out and do some shoots before Tuesday...but on the bright side...I did get a chance to research some more photographers and really enjoyed some biographies on Dorothea Lange. Since a lot of her work was about capturing the very natural essence of individuals, I was very intrigued. Also I found the works of Robert Doisneau to be very inspiring because many of them capture the lives of everyday people in France. I liked the somewhat playful atmosphere of his photos. Here's a link to a video if you'd like to check some of his photos out. I also found another video where a guy is giving street photographers tips on how to interact with their subjects in a natural way and how to capture interesting elements of daily life.
