#1 of 100 Strangers
I’ve wanted to get involved with the 100 Strangers Project since I became aware of it about six months ago. I love people but am a bit of an introvert so find it difficult to approach strangers. My wife and I were on a long driving vacation to Texas and Arizona when we stopped at a cute little bakery called “Desserts by Rebecca” in Georgetown, Kentucky. The clerk was a lovely, very personable young woman and on the spur of the moment I asked her if I could take her photo for the 100 Strangers Project. She quickly said yes and I took her photo. My wife and I and the clerk were all masked for covid so the photo was less then ideal. I then got brave and asked if she would be willing to take her mask down just long enough for one more quick photo. She pulled her mask down revealing this beautiful smile. I very much regret that I did not have the presence of mind to ask her name though she did say that she was not Rebecca. (The only camera I had handy was my little Sony RX100 and I could have chosen a better background but I got my first stranger.) Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page. To see more of my own photos check out my web site at Gary Bluhm Photography.
