I Am _____.

I Am is a video by Steven Nicholas Smith, where random people in Philadelphia are asked to complete this sentence: “I am _____.” As you can expect, he interacts with a ton of people, and gets a ton of varied responses to the prompt.

In a few instances, Smith explores individual stories a little deeper… and focuses on a select group of individuals. I’m honestly a little less taken by these moments – mostly because they feel so scripted and stiff compared to the spantaneous nature of some of the other folks he interviewed.

Still though, a fun experiment and a neat way to capture a glimpse of Philadelphia, and people in general.
