Stranger 15/100

It has been a long time since I worked on the project. Almost 5 months since my last portrait. I was looking forward to continue and at the same having some stress again asking people to portray. But this one didn't give any stress at all since I did no go out to shoot strangers, it just happened by circumstance.

I was walking around some bourgondion wine yards to shoot some pictures when these three men came out of the woods. They started to talk about it being a good moment to photograph. They asked me where I came from and so we got talking. One of them was carying a short ladder around his neck, the other one a plastic holder with a topographic map in it. So I asked what they where doing and they explained that they were taking care of the signs indicating the pelgrims route to Compostella. And then I just asked if I could take their picture. They agreed, although all of them were more enthousiast about the other being photographed. These guys are up with their time, asking immediatly if they should give their emails to send them the picture. We exchanged names and cards, chatted on a bit about the pelgrimage and about what I was doing in France and then it was time to move on.
