These are some street portraits I got around downtown today, except for two which I took last month and didn’t make it into a post yet. I asked the subjects for a fact about themselves which others might be surprised by. The responses are beneath each photo.
 |
| Gladys would only allow me to photograph her if she didn’t have to talk. After the photo I did try to get a surprising fact, but she really wasn’t talking! |
 |
| Briggs is certified to skydive and a certified EMT. I asked, and so far, he hasn’t had to use both certifications at the same time. |
 |
| Agnostio just arrived in New Haven from South America the day of this photo (taken last month) to start working as a plastic surgeon at YNHH. |
 |
| Javier speaks fluent Mandarin. |
 |
| Troy used to play basketball as a small forward and is also very generous |
 |
| Mykel is a New Haven based fashion designer and a holistic healer |
 |
| Lauren just moved to New Haven from Georgia |
 |
| Roger saw a unicorn once |
 |
| Adam is working on his third novel. This one is about love during the apocalypse |
 |
| Giovanni runs a clothing brand called Garcia |
 |
| Nef is a manufacturing technician |
 |
| Jorge hasn’t figured it out yet |
