I love it when people touch each other. As a documentary photographer, I strive to notice the moments that seem to matter most — the ones that illustrate the personalities, emotions, and relationships of the subjects — and I try to capture those moments. More often than not, moments like that will involve some aspect of physical contact.
So this past Sunday, I walked around the Mountain View Farmers' Market with a friend and just took pictures. My goal was simple: 20 years from now, what images would the people I photograph care about the most? My task was to capture those images.
