For this project I wanted to document the most intriguing thing there is in this world: people. And not just people...you or me. An actual person in all his or her individuality, which I believe to be best represented in one's eyes. In my document proposal I threw out the "Eyes are the Windows to the Soul" quote, stating my belief that looking into someone's eyes can give you a glimpse of their soul and a glimmer of their spirit. Driven by this notion, I went out and took pictures of eyes; all races, all ages, both genders, and lots of personalities. My results were very satisfying and the photos i took evoke in me a playful curiosity as I make notions about the thoughts racing through different people's minds. Hopefully it has the same affect on you. My favorite was this little boy (look familiar Marc??), not only because of his beautiful eyes, but because his are the most mysterious, at least to me. Photographing adults and older children, I would have to explain a lot of what I was doing before the picture, but this little guy just let me shoot his pic mid bike ride with his mom and brother. All in all, I think my goal of capturing individuality was accomplished and hope that you enjoy my photos!
