Carol 65/100

After taking Amina's picture I walked away from this alley and saw a pretty amazing group walking towards me. You can guess I thought wow, but I was a bit taken aback as to what they were doing?

 

I watched a couple I now know as Joy and Phil having their pictures taken by a lady I now know was Joys mother taking photo's of the couple on an iPad after their wedding ceremony.

 

I watched for a while and then went over to Carol, who was sitting opposite on a bench and initiated a conversation. I thought perhaps they were modelling clothing or something.

 

I explained the 100 Strangers project to Carol, who was the couples bridesmaid and she was willing to be photographed, so I suggested I take some of the bride and groom and the remainder of the wedding party too.

 

We all went back to the alley and I explained the project to Joy was also keen to get involved.

 

I got a bit busy taking sets of images to have in depth conversations with the group and when I fired off a few questions answers were not really fourth coming. Carol like likes socializing with her friends and reading and that was about all I was getting!

 

Carol was wearing dark glasses I asked her to remove them for this picture and then took a couple with them back on.

 

This picture is 65 in my 100 strangers project.
