Stranger #13
Stranger #13 - she's the first stranger whom I photographed in my home town.
I ran out of portraits of super friendly people from southern California (I really hope I'll have an opportunity to go back there again!) and had to go out in order to continue the project. I was prepared for rejection because this is something that should be expected within this grumpy society and my first attempts to start this project in Poland long time ago weren't very successful :) Anyway, I pushed myself, went out and was wandering aimlessly for some time. At some point I realised it was getting dark very quickly so it was time to act in order to achieve something.
So I approached her and ask for a photo. It turned out she's very friendly and agreed almost immediately when I explained what I'm doing. She was actually quite interested in the project. I got to say that this encounter has left me in pretty optimistic mood and I'm really positive that the project will thrive in the upcoming days ;)
This picture is #13 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
