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).

Beau Tangled, the Derby Dame
Among the various vendors, informational booths, and community organizations at the Charlottesville Pride Festival was one of my favorite local groups, the Charlottesville Derby Dames, our local roller derby team. I love the idea of roller derby, and I even have fond memories of watching it on TV when I was a kid, but I haven’t had the opportunity to make it to one of their bouts. I went up to their booth and asked Beau Tangled for a portrait, and she readily accepted. I’ll have to swing by and check out one of their bouts soon, and maybe I’ll even manage to sneak a couple more portraits out of it.
You can take a look at the official Charlottesville Pride website here.
