Stranger(s) 2 of 100

This is Paul, Maddy & Brooke. They were running around Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square giving out free hugs "because its Martin Luther King Jr. Day". Judging by the condition of their signs Maddy & Brooke are more enthusiastic than Paul. I was hugged by all, however.

 

This was one of those encounters that just happened, and I was lucky enough to be carrying my camera. I'm struggling like a lot of people working on this project taking the first step of approaching someone and I try to visualize in advance taking several photographs of a subject for this project, but as soon I took this snapshot they were off to hug someone else.

 

This is number 2 in my 100 Strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at www.100strangers.com
