Stranger - #4 Ilan
Yesterday, my daughter and a few family members thought we would go to Balboa Island and do a little shopping. We walked into this one shop and this gentleman was chattering away on his cell phone.
As we examined the beautiful artwork on the garments, he came to me and said, "look at me walking around with this mannequin like its my girlfriend or something." Then he started to laugh and we laughed with him.
I then asked him would he like to have a photo with his girlfriend? He laughed and said yes... and the rest is history.
We chatted for awhile about Michael Jackson and we talked about his art. The t-shirt he has on, he made out of these little individual jewels or something. I'm not too sure what you call them but it looked like a lot of work. His art is beautiful.
I told him about the 100 Strangers project and he said to count him in... he was happy to be included. So, here is Ilan. It was a pleasure to meet him... and his mannequin.
This picture is #4 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at www.100Strangers.com"
