When I was younger, I used to proclaim, ‘I enjoy being around people,’ actively seeking opportunities to connect with others and revel in the company of crowds. However, as time has passed, those sentiments have waned, replaced by a yearning for tranquility, solitude, and the vastness of nature. The hustle and bustle of crowds and interactions with strangers no longer hold the same appeal for me.
I very much appreciate all of your comments, faves, and views. Thank you. I look forward to viewing your photo stream.

After some busy weeks finally another update from me!
The tulip fields are now back in full bloom around here.
While walking the streets of Bologna, I saw Arianna talking with her friend.
Having only a couple of minutes to shoot and being in a busy place did not help very much.
Arianna is the only stranger I managed to shoot in 2019; she works as model and I bet you've already guessed it!

This sinister sunset cloud in Georgia reminded me of the upside down from Stranger Things. The series was filmed there, after all!

When I asked Mae and Bruno if they had come from far, they said “Yes, from France”. They had come from Paris but are now locals. Mae and Bruno have been living in Glastonbury for a year. Mae was happy to be part of my strangers project but Bruno declined, although I did take photos of the couple together, for them to keep.
Mae is a therapist. In her spare time she likes to chill and enjoys singing. Her partner Bruno works in cinematography and has recently been engaged on a film in France for 3 months.
Although it was close to midday and the sky was clear, I foolishly decided to try photographing Mae in the open; thinking that the reflector would deal with the shadows. After all it was Winter sun. Thankfully I also got a couple shots in the shade of St Michael’s Tower and it is one of these that I have uploaded.
As we exchanged our goodbyes, one of us said “see you later” or something along those lines. Of course now that we have met, we are bound to bump into each other again; Glastonbury is a small town.
Thank you Mae for taking part in my project. It was great to meet you and Bruno.

Waving lights in the dark as I do, I get to witness some strange things in the night. What you don't see is me stumbling around in the dark trying not to trip over tree stumps....
I spotted Rudolph along 3rd Street in Santa Monica and I thought he would be a good stranger to talk to. He was kind and interesting and had a lot of stories about places he had been and people that he had met. He was a renowned classical and jazz bassoonist but a recent injury to his wrist limits that career. Now he's a member of the Screen Actors Guild, and he is turning his focus within the performing arts from music to acting, including commercials, voiceovers and animation.

The light of the day was falling away, but I still wanted one more stranger for my roll that day. I saw Kamilah walking towards me on this long city street with large glass doors and windows that were catching and reflecting the last of the light. I thought I'd give it a try. Kamilah readily agreed to be apart of my stranger project, but as I lifted the camera to my eye it did seem dark through the viewfinder. I slowed the shutter down as much as I dared and with the aperture fully open I took my shots. To be honest I wasn't very hopeful. In the end though I really like the way it came out, the color of her shirt really pops, and the light catches her face well.
Thanks Kamilah for stopping to be apart of my 100 Strangers Project

Merlin was making a panorama of the Vale of Avalon. He was kind enough to pause briefly and let me take his photo when I asked. Initially he looked puzzled when I asked him but he agreed when I gave him my card and explained the project. We shook hands and exchanged names. When he mentioned his name, I must have looked a little surprised as he said “Yes, really”.
There was a bitter wind and Merlin looked cold in spite of his hat, hood and scalf. He asked me where I would like to take the photo and I said “right here will be fine”. I took a step back and took a photo. I would normally take more but I could see that Merlin was eager to get on with his project. He told me that he had been doing it for an hour already. I asked if it be alright to take a photo of him with his tripod and he said yes.
Thank you Merlin for agreeing to be in my project today. I hope that your panorama was successful – I would love to see it. Maybe you will post it somewhere? It was good to meet you today. I hope that you like the portrait.

Meet Sydney
Was in Bethesda a few days back - after quite a while. Approaching strangers is always a challenge - and its not changed even after 200 plus strangers, and a big gap certainly doesn't help. After a couple of failed attempts I was planning to call it a day - but during my walk back I noticed Sydney at the counters through the glass of a jewelry store. Her sense of dressing and fashion with that hat and a superb personality was attention grabbing even through the glass. Realizing that it was near closing time, I actually stepped into the store (first time have done that) and made my request. And luckily for me Sydney accepted my request and stepped outside the store for a few minutes.
To say that this beautiful young lady was a natural would be a understatement - be it her confidence or her ability to express/pose. Despite the rushed and random nature of these pictures working with a stranger, she just rocked the pictures, despite being on the street. And did I mention the expressive eyes and her enthusiasm and happy vibe. I can only imagine how great she would do in a more coordinated session.
Sydney, besides being a store manager is also a student, working towards a degree in social studies I believe. She has been a trained ballerina which I think shows in the way she carries herself. She's only 22 years, but has already moved 14 times already - across the length and breadth of the USA and also Canada, courtesy of her dad who was a chef. Her favorite quality of herself - her ability to connect with people which was very visible during our interaction. Her favorite memory - her time in Canada leading up to the Olympics and the actual event. Where does she see herself in 10 years - married with a happy family and a successful career.
Thanks a lot Sydney for being a part of my project - it was a pleasure doing these pics. I wish you all the very best for your future and in achieving your dreams

There are stranger things than two people talking on a train platform, but these days they truly are shadows of the past.
In celebration of the release of the Lego Stranger Things theme, I threw together the main characters that were missing from the set. I love this show, and I am very excited to see Lego embrace it with such an amazing model.
Part 2 of my MCU series is coming soon.
I was out at Middleton again today. I noticed these attractive young women in the ticket line. It sounded like they were going to take a house tour which started in just a few minutes. I didn't want to make them rush, so I didn't ask for a portrait even though I thought either of them would make a beautiful addition to my stranger project.
But, as luck would have it, I noticed them again after the house tour. I asked if they would mind letting me take a shot of them for the project, and Victoria said she didn't mind.
Victoria had just recently arrived from Monterrey, Mexico to visit her friends in Charleston. Her friends mentioned that they were giving her the grand tour!
Victoria, I hope you enjoyed visiting Middleton today, and I hope all of you have a very happy New Year! Thanks so much for participating in my project!

I was out for the day with some photography friends. We went to Cambridge Market where we met the lovely Emma. Emma runs her vintage stall called 'Ribbons and Rags' every Friday in Cambridge. Prior to that she travelled across the UK with a vintage fayre company.
My friends and I asked Emma if we could take some photos of her, she very kindly agreed and I explained about the stranger project and asked her if she would mind taking part, she was quite happy to.
Emma has some lovely vintage items on her stall, well worth a visit, I hope to return before too long. I couldn't resist purchasing a few vintage bottles.
