Laurel Nakadate makes art by connecting with strangers, and she wants you to do this, too! She gives us the challenge of finding little known family members and making their photographic portrait.

Sarah also discusses photography as an artistic medium and highlights a specific theory in Roland Barthes' book, CAMERA LUCIDA.
