Shooting the portrait assignment
was easier than the other assignments for several reasons. The lighting was better to work with because it was outside. Secondly, I had a great subject who had a
great story to tell.
Toledoan Bonnie Burnside purchased a vehicle at Toledo Auto Finance. After having the vehicle for only five days, the transmission went out. She claims the dealership is being uncooperative and refuses to fix the vehicle. The only offer the dealership made to Burnside was finding a transmission and a mechanic.

She is protesting the auto
dealer’s actions by showing up everyday with her signs to inform the public about her bad deal,
and to show the dealership she’s serious. Burnside says she'll be out there everyday "come rain, sleet, or snow."
Burnside made this assignment easier
to complete because she was so open to being photographed.
I am grateful that I saw her. I couldn’t have chosen a better subject to be a part of my assignment.
