"No I'm Not Following You..."

This assignment sounded like it would be interesting. I wasn't quite sure if i was going to be able to pull it off (because i am nervous around strangers) but it really wasn't that hard. My focus was just on staying behind them at all times. What i found though while following this person was that the people who i weren't following, the ones around my stranger and I, were all looking at me probably thinking i was crazy. So i sat on a ledge after class trying to find the perfect stranger. I was about to pick a guy (because i figured a guy wouldn't say anything to me if he saw me following him) but then a saw this girl carrying a bag a really liked and decided that she was my stranger. She didn't have much of a long journey but i did feel like a creeper when i followed her into the post office. haha.

A smokey situation.

So a part of what I got from this assignment was to try and tackle a problem or issue. Well seeing how I don't have the resources that Christo does, I thought that it would be pretty hard to think of something good. So I began to brainstorm about issues that students may have around the campus. And then smoking popped into my head. But smoking where? Where is smoking an issue for people who may not smoke? Then I thought why not the bus stop. To me the bus stop was considered a "here" and then I had to think about the "something". I then decided that I would try and get the opinions of students on smoking at the bus stop, AT the bus stop. I thought not only can I get their voices on the Hipcast but why not get people's opinions in writing as well. So I made these sort of flyers to hang at the bus stop and left them there for a day to see what people would write on them. I asked people if they would participate in my project by recording their opinions on hipcast. I took a video of one of the participants talking on the phone. For some reason it wouldn't let me post it.

Happy Halloween
