My fourth visit with the St. Francis house

On my fourth visit with the St. Francis house I showed up around 1:30pm to conduct my art project. Hopefully today by talking to a few people I can find various individuals to be in my art project. The first group of people that I talked to were talking about a church choir and how great they sounded collectively, after they were done talking about that I then asked if anyone would be willing to have their photo taken for my art project. Most people respectively declined. After that I then proceeded to talk to a man who was willing to participate in my project but he was not willing to tell me his name, we only talked for a brief moment but we really just talked about books and why reading is so important. He said that reading is not only a great way to get some knowledge but it is also a good way to have an adventure without going anywhere physically. After he left I went walking around the area if I could find any more people that would be interested. I then met another man who I talked to for about 45 minutes and he has had a very interesting life where he told me that he lived in Hawaii and studied at the University of Hawaii and graduated with every environmental major and had a biology minor. He studied the geological formations in Hawaii, like the time he studied next to one of the volcanoes for months on end. He also studied the different birds and fish, he told me about the time he was published in a magazine for discovering 5 new species of small Hawaiian fish and they didn't use his real name but gave him the name diver #2. He also has a back ground in construction and being a electrician. All in all this man was cultured and had a great amount of knowledge, when I asked if I could photograph him he said yeah sure but get me while I'm walking away and that really shocked me. After spending this day I noticed people love to talk but when it comes to getting their photo taken they become nervous and shy away. This has what made this project challenging but I'm really excited to see the outcomes. I will post my project pieces so far into another blogpost.
