#36/100 Strangers
I have posted a strangers photo for so very long but....
Today I met Rafael and that reminded me of this project.
Rafael came to this country 18 years ago on a work visa. He was born in Monterrey the capital and largest city of the northeastern state of Nuevo León, Mexico but grew up in Ciudad Juárez. He came to New Mexico originally for the hiking and skiing.
He is an engineer but more recently decided that real estate was his forte.
The gash on the bridge of his nose was from the car hood coming down and hitting him whilst out on a hiking trip with his two sons, ages 8 and 4. Rafael's hair is growing so he and his sons can donate it to a cancer charirty organisation. His eight year old son's idea and isn't that most admirable.
I loved talking with Rafael and no doubt we will meet again. Thanks Rafael for taking time to chat about so much.
I must admit I love the 100 strangers project and will do my best to complete it in 2022,
This picture is #37 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
