This was one of the most changeling assignments I've ever done. I am a very light-hearted photographer, focusing more on wittiness and cuteness. This was a photo about immigrant housing with a little profile on this family who has two connecting apartments for their family of 11. The father didn't speak english, so talking though an interpreter was needed. All I could do was act confident so he and his family would trust me.

During my visit his daughters were so pretty and very interested in me and my camera. I let the one daughter hold my camera and take some shots via live view, and here is what she came out with.
