READING: Reach Out and Touch Someone

Here's an interesting idea for a project from Richard Renaldi... having strangers touch for the sake of a photograph. What do you think of the idea as a photographer? as a subject? as a viewer?

Could this idea work at Menlo? What people or groups would you choose to have touch for the camera?

I personally think this is a great idea in concept. However, if we tried it at Menlo, I think it would have a very different effect, since Menlo has the characteristic of being somewhere around 600 people large, not counting teachers and other faculty. Besides maybe the freshmen, almost everybody knows everybody else, at least by name and/or face. You could definitely have interesting explorations of what it means to have such tenuous personal connections though.
