carla was a little harder to find than the horde of students romping around outside day hall. instead of her coming to me, as a few of my "strangers" did, i approached her. i didn't bring up my project until she asked me about my camera. it turns out she is into photography as well, and has a nikon not too different from mine. photography turned into art which turned into artists and museums and cities; our conversation flowed naturally, like we were supposed to be friends. although our meeting was short, we have hung out multiple times since then and i can actually call her a friend, not just a non-stranger. she first came off as an average "nice", friendly, or at least polite, student, which is what i was expecting and what i tried to convey in her portrait. however, after our first conversation and the many we've had since then, i found a crazy artsy girl such as myself. after meeting her i thought i was either going to have a blast with the rest of the people i meet, or the rest would simply fall short of my experience with carla.
