However, the focus of this project is somewhat different. I believe that we come to know a city through the people who live there, so my goal is to depict the city of Charlottesville through its inhabitants. I intend to make portraits of as many Charlottesvillians as possible and share them, along with a little bit about each person, on this photoblog.
Feel free to contact me at cville.people@gmail.com if you would like to be part of the project or know someone who would.
You can see more of my photos on my other blog The Things I've Seen and on my Flickr stream. You can also follow me on Instagram (K_A_Sprouse) or Twitter (@K_A_Sprouse).

Franklin, the good friend
I had just finished taking a few photos of Steve, the amateur model, when Franklin came strolling up. It turns out that he and Steve are good friends and were planning on meeting up to hang out for a while. When he saw Steve talking to me, and then saw my camera, he asked what we were doing. I explained it to him that I had just been taking photos of his friend, and he immediately asked if I would take a photo of him. I agreed, of course, although the light had changed and was a little harsher than I would have liked. Nonetheless, we spent a couple of minutes making photos. Since neither he nor Steve has internet access or email accounts. I told them that I’d make some prints and leave them with the folks at the diner, which made both of them pretty happy. Franklin was especially happy, he said, because now he’ll have a photo of himself to give to his kids, which he found extra special, since tomorrow is Fathers’ Day.
