This is one of my favorite scenes ever. The perfection of Briar Rose, the music, Phillip's invasiveness of her personal space. Thank you ozthegreatandpowerful for this iconic dress. So grateful!
I found a 2G SD card inside a used camera. There are hundreds pictures in the card. Here is the owner‘s selfie of the camera ( i think).
So, I edited the picture, the only best one in the card.
The pictures was taken in Sept 30, 2013.
If the Stranger is your friend, please let her know.

I was waiting to cross the road when Burt spoke to me. He made a comment about the 4 transit cops across the road just coming out of the coffee shop. With coffee and donuts in hand Burt said "somethings never change and was just the same back home in the the US". I asked him if he was just passing through; "yes" he replied "for the last 20 years" and he laughed. "Maybe I should return home some day" he went on to say.

“There's an opposite to déjà vu. They call it jamais vu. It's when you meet the same people or visit places, again and again, but each time is the first. Everybody is always a stranger. Nothing is ever familiar.” - Chuck Palahniuk, Choke

The summer of 87' is in full swing.
A man walks out of the local Friendly's after some fried clam strips and a root beer float with a big happy smile across his face. Another fills his tank with 79 cent per gallon petrol and grabs a pack of Winstons for a buck nineteen.
The Chrysler product in the street was the standard police vehicle for the era. Coming from AMC's radio is the Las Lobos cover of "La Bamba" followed by The Grateful Dead's "Touch of Grey",....on the same station. All this while a Boston & Maine bright blue EMD geep powers through New Hartford, NY ready to drop a lumber car by the station with New York, Susquehanna & Western train UT1.
A shot from 35 years ago and all these simple things roll through my mind as I look at it.
Stranger Things??
Since watching that great and very creepy little series a couple of months ago, this scene was strangely familiar.
I’d been taking a portrait shot of this girls’s friend... I just turned the camera and pressed the button!
Luckily this young lady liked the shot and said it was fine with her however I chose to use it...
So here ya go:)
While walking in the busy center of Milan I crossed this guy: great look, extremely fashionable and cool. When I asked him for a portrait he surprisingly told me it was ok but we had to move somewhere more quite: fortunately I had spotted this gallery not far and I suggested to go there.
Meet Michael, in art known as DjLeo.
If I recall correctly Michael is original from US and is a DJ: playing mainly hip-hop and R&B music.
Thank you Michael, it was really great meeting you!

Walking around Soho with Arnab I'd seen a cool brown wall that I'd thought would make a good background. But no suitable candidates were on hand so I filed it away. Three blocks later I saw Margan with a large group of friends and the pieces clicked together.
I love the stars on her back and wanted to try to include that in the picture which is why I chose the image with this pose. In truth I have a couple of technically better images of her but this is the one that I had in mind when I first saw her so in it goes.
Margan is from Turkey and has been living in London for 3 years and is loving it here.
I've not been including all of my street portraits in the 100 Strangers group as I feel like many of them are about me doing what I do and enjoying the process, but not stretching myself in new directions. However this one was always intended to be a little different and for the project. I have conflicting views for myself on trying new things vs doing what I know I enjoy and can do. So I do both.
If you like my work, please take a look at my Facebook page and my website and if you're more inclinde to Instagram, I've been playing around there too..
Meet Heinrich. Heinrich, who will be 80 this year, was a marshal today for a demonstration in Darmstadt, Germany. The people, mainly pensioners and some students, were demonstrating against the financial policies of the German government, who prefer to spend money on weapons rather than on education, health care and pensions. Heinrich was heavily armed with some flowers. He said he started going to demonstration back in 1968, and hasn't stopped since. He was a real gentleman of the old school, and it was an honour to talk to him.

With only a handful of original Illinois Central "Deathstar" EMD SD70s still in active service, a scene like this definitely wasn't on my 2026 Bingo card. IC 1015, originally built in October 1995, is 1 of 40 EMD SD70s ordered by Illinois Central. Although CN repainted a majority of the SD70s into their corporate livery after the February 1998 aquisition, IC 1015 still retains it's original "Deathstar" livery applied even after over 30 years. Although not as revered but still significant to some level, CN 3885 trailing second-out is 1 of 20 GE ES44ACs to receive a special CN 100 logo for Canadian National's 100th anniversary in 2019.
As UP UESZPL clears the rural community of Linwood, IC 1015 peaks out from the trusses of Stranger Creek Bridge. Having been built in 1905 by the American Bridge Company and spanning 138 feet, this Baltimore truss bridge still carries mainline traffic for Union Pacific roughly 121 years later.
After coming off of the Canadian National at Souix City, UP UESZPL with a trio of CN locomotives navigates makes it's way eastbound toward Kansas City via UP's Kansas Subdivision. Once the train reaches KC, it'll take KCT's East-West Corridor where it'll get off onto UP's Kansas City Metro Subdivision and eventually head southbound onto UP's Coffeyville Subdivision on their way to Texas where they'll drop off empty ethanol cars at the Kinder Morgan plant in Euless.

In the middle of our photo shoot, Tyshaya paused and with a tear in her eye mentioned that she was very appreciative that I had asked her to be the subject of my 200th stranger portrait. She explained that a few days earlier she had suffered a miscarriage, and she had been feeling down ever since. The fact that a complete stranger would approach her and compliment her beauty served to lift her spirits and self-esteem. She thanked me, but in truth it was I who owed her a debt of gratitude. For weeks, I had been actively searching for that special someone to be my milestone 200th stranger. Ironically, although I was drawn to Tyshaya’s photogenic qualities, it turned out to be her vulnerable humanity that will have a lasting impact for me. It is altogether appropriate that as I close this chapter of my stranger photography journey, I experience such a compelling encounter that harkens me back to the true meaning and power of this project.

This is my next daily picture for my 365 project.
Met this guy with his great beard in a small coffee bar in the city today. What a cool character.
Wish everybody a fine weekend.

"Dreaming a dream
Strangers at night
Fingers and tongues
Building a charge
Leading you on
Skin upon skin
Soft and then hard
Building a charge
Making me shake
Making me swoon
Making you shy
Kissing this womb
Taking the senses much deeper than meaning
This magic is drawing you in
Shaking together this moment will break you
Will take you right out of your skin
Fingers outside
Slipping them in
Drifting those lips
Flapping those ties
Breaking forever the shell that contains you
Shaking together releasing the stranger in skin"

Meet Jon. Jon is 40, and he came to Germany from the USA some 6 years ago "to see Europe and travel around" as he put it. He's still here, so he must like it. 3 years ago, he met the lady of his love and got married. He earns his living making and selling balloon figures in all shapes and colours, often making the figures specifically to the customer's wish. It was a joy to watch him make children (young and old) smile and happy. The baseball cap shaded his eyes, but I couldn't ask him to take it off, since it was also his advertizing. Here he is involved in some serious sales negotiations with a group of three 14 year-old girls.

On the lobby door. At least it's not a wall. One photo a day.(3/366) -- Bayside, Queens, NYC -- January 3, 2020
Two strangers enter the gallery on opposite sides and work their way towards each other and the the same piece of art.
An extremely foggy afternoon in Amsterdam made it look like a sci-fi or horror movie!
