Here’s another installment of our New Haven Portrait Project. This time I stood on Congress Avenue by Arch Street for an hour and a half. Fifteen passers-by agreed to have their portrait taken. After I took the photo, I asked the subjects to describe themselves in one word and their answers are listed under the respective photos.
Where should I go for the next Portrait Project shoot?
