1/100 Jim

I'm starting a 100 Strangers project. I liked the idea of starting it on the first day of the new year, but I ended up spending a lot of time just looking for people; it's 4 degrees outside and a holiday. People just aren't wandering about. Then I saw Jim.

 

I've noticed Jim before. He sells roses in an intersection pretty much everyday but I've never spoken to him or bought flowers from him before. I parked my car and approached him to take a photo and he couldn't have been nicer. We chatted a little, he was surprised at how few cars were on the road and he continued to approach cars to try to sell flowers as we talked. I didn't want to distract him for too long so I left after a few minutes.

 

I really appreciate how kind and agreeable Jim was. I've been nervous about starting this project and I was surprised at how fun and pleasent it was the first time out.

 

This picture is my first photo in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by others at 100 Strangers project.
