#19/100 Days of Strangers

Awesome style, look of determination, incredible presence: meet Stranger #19, Tunia.

 

I saw her staring wistfully into the distance, as if waiting to be captured by a camera--mine! (She later told me she was gathering her thoughts before sitting down to read her Bible.) It took a lot of courage to disturb her reverie by asking if I could take her picture. She agreed, then asked a few questions about the project.

 

I took 8 photos, trying not to overthink things. She assumed different poses, but I liked this one because it captured her strength and character. Meeting Tunia reignited my interest in the 100 Days of Strangers project. For a while, I'd lost my nerve about approaching people. I'm back on track now.
