Part of what photojournalists do is just roam around with our cameras and find interesting things to make photos of. Unless it’s fashion or something similar, we don’t pose our subjects, it’s important to be honest with readers, many of whom wrongfully assume we set up images like this.

This photo ran in a day in the life of Broad Ripple project.
