 20041219 Giving Candy to Strangers.
I spent the day in Williamsburg, Brooklyn with Youngna Park. We devised a photo-adventure that consumed our afternoon: Trade candy canes to strangers for their portrait. After hours of wrangling people and making random friendships, we succeeded in capturing the faces of many interesting folks. Youngna and I shot independently, with distinctively different angles. Hers will be online very soon, but in the meantime you may view my portraitures here. 6

Were these the best shots from the day or did they all turn out pretty great? 3:37 AM Post a Comment |

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
