This is Linos (which is pronounced Leenos) he is a 36 year old musician from Zimbabwe and I stumbled across him busking in the grounds of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton. Linos was busking in the same spot that I found my first stranger for this project but hey it's a regular busker site so I'm sure I'll be back for more. Linos was a little bit sceptical to start with but once I explained the project to him he was happy for me to use his picture. Linos played some really lovely african music as a backing track and accompanied it with his mbira and gourd (I know this with the kind help of Mr RiddleyWalker), so thanks Riddley and Linos your both stars!
This is stranger #5 in my 100 strangers project. See www.100strangers.com or www.flickr.com/groups/100strangers/ for more information about the project.

London 2012 Olympics: UK's security preparations
London 2012 Olympics: UK's security preparations have been called into question by US officials. Photograph: Peter Macdiarmid/Getty Images
The US has raised repeated concerns about security at the London Olympics and is preparing to send up to 1,000 of its agents, including 500 from the FBI, to provide protection for America's contestants and diplomats, the Guardian has learned.
American officials have expressed deep unease that the UK has had to restrict the scope of anti-terrorism "stop and search" powers, and have sought a breakdown of the number of British police and other security personnel that will be available next summer.
The prime minister and other senior members of the cabinet, including home secretary Theresa May and culture and sport secretary Jeremy Hunt, are taking turns to chair security meetings about the Olympics, which are often dominated by the latest questions from the US, sources said. But Washington's need for reassurance is exasperating British officials and anti-terrorism officials, who have privately raised concerns about the meddling, as well as the size of the US "footprint" in the UK during the games next year.
"We are not equal partners in this," said one security official. "They are being very demanding."
The friction is adding to the pressures on the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Locog), which is responsible for preparing and staging the event. The Guardian has learned the committee is attempting to resolve a potential crisis over venue security, after conceding it had underestimated the number of security guards needed at the 32 sites across the country. Originally it had thought 10,000 guards would be enough, but after a review over the summer it now believes it will need up to 21,000.
Venue safety is not the responsibility of the police, so the firm G4S was awarded the contract to find and train the initial group. The company will this week begin an advertising campaign to meet that target. But the organising committee does not have the money to pay G4S to make up the shortfall, and does not believe the firm has enough time to do so, forcing ministers to turn to the Ministry of Defence for help.
The MoD has offered 3,000 soldiers, and another 2,000 in reserve – half the total required. The ministry is working within its own tight budget, and the late request for help has irritated some officials.
"What have they been doing for the last five years?" asked one. "There is less than a year to go and they've only just realised they need twice the number of security guards they first thought. Where is the money to pay for this coming from? It is an extra burden on the defence budget that we could well do without."
Another source said: "Everyone has now realised 10,000 was an underestimate. This is one of the biggest problems facing the Olympic authorities because there is an absolute dearth of vetted and qualified private security guards. Senior police had advised ministers and the committee that 10,000 was too few, but nobody wanted to listen because of the cost involved.
"The military will have to stand up some people. Otherwise G4S have got the Olympic committee over a barrel."
The problem will do little to reassure Washington, which will be supplementing its FBI personnel with an equal number of diplomatic security officials, some of whom will be armed. Though the UK's Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre has lowered the threat of attack to "substantial" – the third level on the scale – western intelligence agencies remain wary.
They know it is possible that al-Qaida, or one of its affiliates, may attempt to disrupt the Olympics, with members of the US team being obvious targets.
The Home Office and Scotland Yard believe the UK has a robust security strategy, but this has not stopped American officials voicing their concerns.
The police response to the London riots, the arrest of a security guard at the London Olympics site earlier this year, and the arrests made shortly before the visit of the Pope last year have provoked anxiety among US officials. The repeal of section 44 of the Terrorism Act, which allowed police to stop and search suspects with near impunity, also raised alarm. One well-placed Whitehall source said the entire Olympic security operation was being prepared "with the US in mind", adding: "The US will have no qualms in saying it is unsafe. If something happens and we say we did not have enough people, we are finished."

There was a pool competition going on at the Hinckley Island hotel this weekend. This wonderful number plate was parked outside!
I was strolling by and I spotted this man making some intricate drawings. I sat opposite to him and noticed that he might just got out of jail. I gently took my camera out and took a shot.

Just north of Mildred, Kansas, found an abandoned service station. Looked like only sightseers, and us, had been inside in many years. This older dial phone was sitting on and old heater.

Which is funny, because he told me he knit his scarf as a fan of Dr Who, and Tom Baker (known for wearing a long scarf in the role) was the Fourth Doctor. He said buying all different colors of yarn was cost prohibitive. He is also wearing a t-shirt commemorating his participation (playing guitar) in BDHS' 2010 production of Little Shop Of Horrors.
I saw him and another gentleman walking up the street and decided to pull over ahead of them. As they walked past the car I kicked myself for missing the opportunity . Deciding it was not too late, I jumped out and ran after them. The older man noticed, so I said "Excuse me..." I am sure holding the DSLR makes one seem somehow allowed to take pictures of strangers. It was a rush. I'm happy I did it. Next time I really ought to ask a woman.
