Stranger 27/100 Stefano

As for stranger 25, Rene, I had chosen a background - this corner in the outer wall of St. Martin's Church in Birmingham's Bullring.

Stefano was with a group of friends, all of whom seemed to be fascinated by the area, where the multiple silver discs of Selfridge's store dominate the immediate skyline. Stefano wandered off to take photos on his phone and I took the opportunity to approach him. He was a little reluctant but did agree and we strolled over to the spot I had chosen.

Stefano lives in London but comes originally from Italy - this was almost 100% predictable because of his immaculate sense of style, and I told him so.

He was concerned that he had blinked and, in fact, he had slightly but, because the camera was set on sequential mode, I had captured him without it.

He was anxious to be on his way because his friends had already move on so I gave him a card and he said he would be in touch to check out the results. I hope he will be as pleased as I am.
