Stranger #165
It can be all about timing. I had just received my order of teriyaki chicken at Austin Community College's little cafe when the fire alarm started pulsating deep drones telling us to evacuate. I took my lunch outside, sat down and ate as students milled around me. Was it a fire drill? A bomb threat? I never found out, but as the "all clear" sounded and the crowd re-entered the building, Jessie pulled up on her scooter. I had to ask her to join the 100 Strangers project. She moved to Austin via New York City and had scant minutes before teaching a journalism class, so we didn't talk for long. But a quick Google search uncovered her other life as an up-and-coming Austin musician/singer/songwriter: thepleasepleaseme.com/. Thanks for posing, Jessie!
She is my 165th stranger in the Flickr challenge to shoot photos of 100 strangers: www.flickr.com/groups/100strangers/.
