michael was the first person i approached who was willing to be a part of the "hello, my name is" project. it was also the first nice day in syracuse we had had in a while, which made it much easier to meet people to talk to. he actually joined me as i was sitting on the lawn outside my dorm and we began small-talking over a cigarette. after those initial first-meeting questions [what's your major, where are you from, blah, blah, blah], i actually learned a lot about him. it only took five or ten minutes to find out a lot of things we had in common. i'm glad i got to meet him as he lives literally one floor down from me and we still hang out, and i probably wouldn't have found him if i wasn't doing this project. i noticed his talkativeness first, which is important to me in a friend as i do not appreciate awkward silence or boring conversation. it may have been the weather, or the fact that he was my first experiment, but michael definitely left an imprint in my mind and a smile on my face. therefore, when taking his picture i tried to capture his giddy, upbeat personality, which wasn't hard to do as he was unsurprisingly quite excited to model.
