a brand new minneapolis no. 14 (nicollet mall) [explored] on Flickr.Mamiya 645 1000s | Mamiya Sekor-C 80mm f/1.9 (shot at f/2.8) | Ilford HP5+ | Rodinal (1:50)
I had just finished speaking to a very nice 90+ year old gentleman (preview: he’s #18) and was just feeling good about people in general when I asked this stranger for her portrait. She kindly said yes. I guess the moral of the story is to ask first and ask why later—-sometimes the most interesting shots are spur-of-the-moment. 
This picture is the fourteenth in my 100 strangers project, to learn more and see the rest of A Brand New Minneapolis, click here.
