I have been enjoying your stream very much and have now come up with an idea...
I have a push for you, I thought you could take a photo of a complete strange, a portrait. It must be someone you have not met before or been introduced to. I would like you to convey something about them in the image but not in a totally obvious way. For example blurred background but not too blurred of say a bookseller, or anything you think would convery something of their story. I would like you to engage in a short conversation with them. This push is inspired by the 100 strangers group that I have joined, which is meant to push you outside your personal boundaries. You may take a friend with you or a family member to give you courage and support. Let me know what you think. Caz

So, I was having breakfast in a cafe on Monday, looking for strangers to talk to. No one interested me really until these two policeman walked in. I decided to go and talk to them. The officer on the right told me they had just had an incident where someone reached inside of his jacket like he was going for his gun. I told him I was glad I didn't have their job! He was more than willing to talk and tell me about their jobs in the Tenderloin where I was having breakfast. It can be a rather rough neighborhood. The officer on the left was very charming and when I told him I was a retired school teacher he said I should have been making the money they pay the big athletes. I totally agree!
This is their breakfast hang-out where they come to decompress. Thanks, Caz, for the push. It was a lot of fun!!
