i got about 50 burrs on me trying to get this shot. long day in the hospital, and didn't get enough sleep last night . . . one of those days when it's hard to get inspired and you gotta pull through.
After a gap of over 4 months I have at last resumed my 100 strangers project and with ML travelled up to Brick Lane to meet-up with other members of the group.
On the way there we stopped at the newly refurbished Christ Church at Spittalfields and as we came out of the church saw at the bottom of the steps Pip and Kato.
So in classic beginners fshion I approach Kato, told him about the project, asked for his photograph and completly forgot to look at any of my camera settings! At least they were so far out that I knew straight away something was wrong and I let Kato carry on queuing for a coffee at the vendor while I sorted myself out.
Kato is a lovely soft-spoken guy who was just out with his partner Pip to meet-up with some friends.
After such a long break in this project to say I was rusty was an understatement but I Kato, and Pip were both very kind, friendly and understanding.
Thank you very much Kato for your time, and participating in this project.

The Birthday part two.
Not long after getting to know Phil, we had a long chat about how I wanted to make "Those pictures with steel wool". He drew a bit of a blank and I endevoured to explain.
Simply take:
1 basic kitchen whisk
1 dog chain lead
1 packet of DIY steel wool
a small length of jewellry wire
a kitchen gas lighter
2 torches
1fire extinguisher
1 camera and tripod
2 very excited children (by children I mean adults with a passion for FIRE! there was a lot of this bit "Fire do do dooooo do do do FIRE")
So, use the wire to attach the whisk to the dog lead. Fill the whisk with some steel wool.
Pop the camera on the tripod, using one of the torches shine it on your clothing and let the other child focus the camera. Click the focus into manual.
Light the wool with the lighter and begin to swing the lead in a circular motion.
At this point burning wool will be sparking out all over the place and you can't help but scream.
Whilst you are screaming, have the other person hit the shutter, making sure your shutter speed is slow enough, this will catch the sparks and create a giant catherine wheel.
For further details, ask me or better still, google you tube and watch the same gurus that I did :)
We did this behind a derelict chippy, close enough to the road to drive, but sheltered enough not to draw attention. It was an EPIC way to spend a difficult day and ultimately I think we both exorcised a lot of pent up emotion.
Phil burned his hair a bit, got a small hole in his fleece and worked up a friction blister on his index finger from the speed he swung the chain at.
I burned my hat, screamed a lot and went home with holes in my tights.
All in all a wonderful evening.
(Do you recognise the location?)
Oh and Michael Westall thank you for this tip-off! www.homeofpoi.co.uk/ I cannot tell you how excited I am to discover this!
Cynthia (stranger 41)
What Cynthia and I both had in common was waiting for the surfers who sailed back and forth at the Brouwersdam on Lake Grevelingen. I was there to take pictures of my son when he was back in the area and Cynthia was waiting for her boyfriend. The wind was blowing hard (good for the surfers) and when the sun disappeared behind the clouds it became a lot colder. Cynthia stood there with a scarf in front of her face against the cold wind. That gave her something more - in the middle of the summer with a scarf - and so I asked if I could take a photo (I was waiting for my son to be around again). She cooperated immediately and suggested to be more in the light. Thank you Cynthia.
This is the 41th photo of my second round of the # 100stangers project.

I saw Marzia standing in St Giles in Oxford chatting with some friends. Her bright blue hair and flashing smile caught my eye, so I tried a candid shot as I approached. I then asked if she minded me taking her photo, to which she replied "you already have"! I explained my 100 Strangers project and how I seriously wanted to include Marzia in it and she agreed to pose for some more photos. I took some shots, hoping that the bright sunlight wouldn't be too much of a problem. Marzia told me that she was from Rome and was in Oxford to do postgraduate studies of Italian Poetry at St Cross college. Marzia subsequently emailed my to apologize for being rude at first. She felt that sneaking up to photograph someone dehumanises them. I didn't think Marzia had been rude. However I was pleased that, after seeing my 100 Strangers work, she was still happy to be part of it. Marzia mentioned a t-shirt that she was wearing when we met. This t-shirt was important to her. It wasn't included in any of my photos because I had only done head and shoulders shots. The t-shirt promotes an Italian crowd-funded feminist porn project called Le Regazze del Porno. This is a collective of journalists, filmmakers, writers, and actresses who aspire to produce a series of erotic short films that will focus on female sexual pleasure. You can read more about that on their website at www.leragazzedelporno.org/.
I sent Marzia the photos I had taken of her and this was her favourite. She said, " I know I have my eyes closed but it's the most natural/representative one I think. I am smiling just like my mum in that one :) (scary!)"
I thank Marzia for taking part in my 100 Strangers project.

Wow, Barney's had the absolute best afternoon he's had for a really long time. My dad, his girlfriend, her 3 BCs (Lyra, Hovis & Chance), Barney & I all went for a wander up Midsummer Hill together. The weather was a bit nasty, dark, damp & cold (& not ideal for photos) but of course, being collies the dogs didn't care about that one bit.
Barney was in complete heaven, he thought it was awesome having a little gang of border collies to bounce around with. He was sooo much happier & more relaxed than he often is while out on the hills - almost like a different dog. We've been struggling with a bit recently, as Barney's going through one of his nervy periods but today, he just acted like a normal (normal for a collie), confident pup. No worrying about bangs, or other noises & he actually wanted to run around & have fun - rather than stick by my side like glue the whole time. I've had him run with other dogs before & it's not made much of a difference to Barney's confidence levels but apparently, he really, really loves hanging out with his own breed!
He had friendly competitions with merlie girlie Lyra to catch the ball, actually fetched the ball back to me on the occasions he reached it first (something he often won't do when we're out!), ran around happily with the puppy (who was being less bossy this weekend, thank goodness!), barked a lot, rolled around on the grass & played fetch some more. He is now utterly exhausted & has been given an extra painkiller because I suspect he overdid things a bit but it was definitely worth it to see him have such a good time! I have a hideous number of photos waiting to be sorted... This probably isn't technically the best I took but it summed up his happy afternoon :)
