Fu what a fat woman!
Photographer Haley Morris-Cafeiro of Memphis created this project called "Waiting Watchers" in which she photographs herself as well as ordinary passers-by. Hailey sets up her camera on a tripod in all sorts of places, and then for 5-10 minutes she just walks in the field of view of the camera lens, doing ordinary things - sitting in a cafe, sightseeing, walking the streets. The whole feature of her project is the reaction of people to her, or rather, to her completeness.

1. “Once I decided to take a picture of myself sitting alone in Times Square, looking at the crowd running past,” says Hayley.
2. “After developing the film, I noticed a man who was standing behind, and who was photographed by a pretty blonde. But instead of posing for her, he looked at me and wrinkled his nose at my figure.
3. “Five minutes later, in a different location, another man turned around and stared after me with his mouth open while I took a picture of myself in a cafe.”
4. "I've always noticed how people make faces at me, speak loudly at me and openly laugh at me because of my figure and excess weight."
5. "So this project was born - I just wanted to collect their reactions in one folder."
