Assignment 6: Portraits

For some reason "staged-looking" portraits are a big pet peeve of mine. So my photos are all natural people doing what they do without the notion that they have to perform for the camera. I went to photo hotspots like Market Square and PPG Place so the sight of an slr with a really long zoom lens wouldn't freak anybody out. None of them noticed me except probably the last one. I know I was supposed to get their name, and their age, and their job, and everything else; but I feel that's only truly important when related to news/storytelling. I think portraits hold more interesting when you see who the people are, but don't know who they are.
