When Im photographing high school senior girls near the Boise River (or in the parks, or foothills, or downtown), I routinely hear random dudes shouting comments on my clients appearance. Its not flattering, its not fun, and it frequently rattles and embarrasses the girl. And THIS: Individual comments taken in isolation may seem like they are not inherently offensive, but considered in the cumulative, the constant barrage of such attention tells women that the moment we step outside into a public space, we are being graded for our looks... In other words, street harassment enforces the idea that women are being evaluated on their boneability any time they exist in public view.
