Kevin Connolly was born without legs and travels throughout the world by balancing his torso on a skateboard, and moving expertly through the streets of the cities he visits.
He's perfectly aware that his physical differences will attract curiosity and as a result has turned the gaze back onto onlookers by taking over 32,000 pictures of the stares he's received.
It's a fascinating selection of spur of the moment portraiture. The stares come not only because of his appearance but also because he's pointing a camera at them. From behind the lens, he's putting himself into their position and mirroring their interest.

that takes guts! and to think that the average person feels uncomfortable when they're being stared at. how many of us would be able to point a camera towards a rude stranger?
