Meet Sam.
So, these have been hanging around on my hard drive for awhile, just waiting for the perfect time to reveal themselves! And I think a cold, snowy winter day is just right for reminiscing about fall. Remember grass? Remember green? Remember warmth?
I met Sam at a skate park in Worthington to shoot his senior pictures. To be completely forthright, I have to admit that Sam wasn’t really stoked about the idea of striking poses and smiling pretty for the camera. That is a common opinion amongst teenage guys, which I respect wholeheartedly. So, rather than doing the normal senior portrait stuff, I asked Sam to tell me some of the raunchiest jokes he’s heard at his high school. Honestly, I didn’t really know what I was in for, but we ended up with some really genuine expressions in really genuine situations. And that’s the whole point, isn’t it? To capture seniors just the way they are before their world explodes and they start changing faster than you can say “college acceptance letters”.
