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.

The snowstorm of the past few days has cleared. It's sunny again and I am looking forward to summer. June 10th looked like this last year.
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.

sorry for being suuuch a bad flickr friend lately. i'm trying to catch up with all of your uploads and comments, i sweaaar. it's kind of like school.. when you fall behind one day, you're in a deep hole. haha. i'll get back in the groove soon, though!
i am sooo completely swamped with school as of late. i have no free time. ): i washed my car yesterday and it rained today while i was at the library. i knew it was going to rain but i hate dirty cars and mine doesn't deserve to be dirty. she's too beautiful. (:
my clues as of today:
clue #1- the number one.
clue #2- a dress.
clue #3- surely sweet can sometimes be mistaken as something sour.
clue #4- lots of water.
clue #5- many people. many things. but we could still be alone.
clue #6- pedal, swim, walk or drive across. sounds fishy? not quite.
clue #7- sometimes it stands still, sometimes it runs.
clue #8- even a train can cross.
clue #9- sparkles in the sun. though it's quiet at night, it never sleeps.
clue #10- grass, sand, cement, water, metal. they're all here and you could walk on all of them.
haha, i am still stumped.
The Great War - triptych.
Built on the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War.
It consists of three parts:
I: 'Enthusiasm' (Paris 1914)
Mobilization in France. The crowd greets soldiers marching, and the recruitment point is popular.
II: 'Awe' (Passchendaele 1917)
Positional War. The so-called third Battle of Ypres, fought in a sea of mud, in which drowned tens of thousands of soldiers.
III: 'Glory' (Vaux-sur-Somme 1918)
April 21, 1918 Manfred von Richthofen - 'Red Baron' - was shot down on the French territory. Probably by the Australian machine gunner.
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 :)
