HumansofBurlington

Your final assignment in AP psych.

Inspired by Humans of New York, we are going to embark upon taking a kind of micro-census of our town. Not just the HS, but this place where you have lived for years. Yes, you have all lived here for years with people that you love and some that you might loathe, here is a chance to celebrate and document them. While many of you are departing, fleeing, moving on, whatever, this is the place that has formed your perspective on much of the world. So who makes up this community? Let's find out.

Your assignment. Be on the lookout for a human in Burlington. You are going to have a meaningful conversation with this person and take their picture. Before you groan, yes, this will be challenging, but all things that are worthwhile are.

How to pick a subject: They need to not be related to you. They must be 18 or older. They must be fine with being photographed. They must be fine with having a conversation with you.

The conversation is more important than the picture. Yes, words are worth more than an image. We have spent a year together talking about people, our minds, our brains, how we look at the world, and how we function in the world. You will be embarking into this world, so first, take a look around where you are and have a conversation with someone here that goes beyond the surface. There is a great video by the photographer behind the project: video explaining how to talk to people.
