Shot with available light in Denver, Co. This image is my first attempt at using textures. I would love some feedback on what you think. Thanks
Making the trek from Madison to Las Vegas is one heck of a haul, especially during the dog days of summer. As we drove for hours on end, the only photo ops I got to take advantage of were at the gas stations along the way. While filling up somewhere in between Nebraska and Wyoming, a Humvee pulled into the station; when the soldiers got out I figured it would be a good opportunity to get a stranger or two. The juxtaposition of human and vehicle drew me in, so as my siblings gathered snacks inside I made my move.
I approached with an open mind, and said hello; really a simple introduction (nothing to do with strangers at all). I then asked the soldier (as his comrade had gone inside for a break as well) "long drive today?" He smiled and expressed that it was in fact a day for long drives, I chuckled on the inside as I asked how many miles he had to go. "100 miles" and then I couldn't contain it, and I laughed out loud. I expressed that we were making the drive from Madison to Vegas, and he was in agreement that my drive was much worse then his. It was at this point I heard my sister yell at me "What are you doing weirdo!?" I turned around and exclaimed "talking to strangers, duh!"
At this point the other gentleman in camouflage came out clad, and I requested to snap a photo for my 608 strangers project. The agreed to my offer, and posed neatly at attention in front of the Humvee. I did explain they were allowed to relax a little bit, which drew a smile; and as I crouched on the hot pavement; I clicked a couple photos. One of the soldiers had been hiding his cigarette behind his back, and as that looked good I requested the other to do so as well. Clicking one more photo, and then I was summoned back to the car to start the next leg of my journey. I grabbed a business card quick out of my bag, and handed it to them so they could check out my work.
The journey West did provide me with all sorts of interesting faces, and I think that's why I enjoy the 100 strangers group. It's just full of interestingness* that you seldom see in daily life. So if you're up for a challenge, join the group and undertake the project (like I've said before) there is no timetable like a 365 (picture a day for a year) so why not join?

It was a rather quick photo-shoot today. I saw Adelle talking on the phone when I walked by a bus stop. She was on the phone, so I walked on and didn't bother asking her for a picture. But, as I continue scouting, I thought, "doesn't she looks like Vanessa Hudgens?"
So I went back, and ask her for a picture. She was overwhelm and surprised. I almost told her that I thought she looks like Vanessa Hudgens; but I didn't, I thought that maybe inappropriate. So, I took 2 shots, and showed her the pictures. She is very please with them.
Thanks Adelle, it is a great picture.
大溪，最早的地名為「大姑陷」(TAKOHAM)，平埔族人對「陷」字不吉祥，故又改為『大姑坎』，後又因李騰芳中舉後又將地名改為「大科崁」。李騰芳古厝位於桃園縣大溪鎮月眉里；李騰芳古厝又稱「李金興古厝」，興建於咸豐十年(西元1860年)，同治三年(1864年)正式落成，至今歷史已超過140年建築保存相當完整，經過多年的整修，目前已被列為國家二級古蹟。
李家原居於福建省詔安縣，李騰芳的父親李炳生以經商從事米穀買賣為業，創立「李金興商號」；李騰芳為李炳生的三子，本名有慶，字香閣，號蘭亭，官名騰芳，生於西元1814年(嘉慶十九年)，李騰芳於西元1856年(咸豐六年)當時43歲舉中『秀才』，西元1859年(咸豐九年)由附生准報捐貢生，接著於西元1865年(同治四年) 當時52歲時到福建參加鄉試中了『舉人』，西元1868年(同治七年)參加捐內閣中書，當時具有舉足輕重的地位。
In truth my encounter with Anthony consisted of me dropping a couple dollars into his bucket, and sitting beside him on the sidewalk on a sunny Denver evening. I felt compelled to just learn about him, as many just passed him by without evening a glance. My notes sadly are gone from our encounter, but I do remember him telling me that his father was an architect who had a hand in designing the four tallest buildings in the Denver area. I didn't do any research into his claim, but enjoyed his company for the better part of twenty minutes while my friends were inside a 7-11 getting slush puppies and other sugary treats. My time doing the 100 strangers project has taught me a lot patience with new people. It is more about taking the time to listen and learn about someone new, then it is to just take a photograph and be on one's way. I'm certain that's how I would want it, if I were to be a subject for a project as such. We parted ways with a soft handshake and a gentle hug, smiling to myself that hopefully I'd made his day as he'd made mine. Denver may be nearly a thousand miles from home, but Anthony was a perfect fit for my (608)strangers while I was away.
