List of Emotions

This is a list of emotions for the 2008 photo project Emotions. The idea is to capture photographs of people going about their business portraying one of the emotions on the list. A minimum of 25 photos will be taken and only one photo per emotion will be displayed.

And yes I know the list contains more than just what one would consider an emotion. Feelings, personality traits, etc. are also on the list. I'm unsure if those will be used yet or not.
