I met this young lady yesterday when my home town was officially granted Royal status by the Queen. She was a operating a video camera for the regional television company. I took a couple of shots of her and she admired my Leica.

I was in the Nationwide building society when I spotted this chap and his wonderful hair. So I lurked outside waiting for him to emerge. He was as charming and friendly as he was photogenic. We just stood in the little side road beside the Nationwide and I took a few shots. That wonderful genuine smile never left his face. His girlfriend Armani then appeared so I also did some of her (Stranger no 10!) and then a few of them together as a couple. Background-wise, I love the left-hand side with its receding lines, but not so keen on the right. If only Nationwide had built their place on a narrower road with buildings both sides. They just don't think. But at least the tones are all harmonious.

I thought one advantage of getting a puppy would be a great way to get out and attract strangers for portraits. I was right that the puppy attracts more interactions with strangers but I completely underestimated how difficult it was going to be to "walk" a puppy and try to take photos at the same time. All my attention goes into training and keeping her out of trouble, for now. Oh well. It wasn't until I went with my Mom to Oregon and the puppy stayed at home with my husband that I was able to think about photographing strangers again.
While driving through the beautiful Hood River Valley my mother saw a sign for an Alpaca yarn shop and wanted to stop. When we got there it was closed so we turned around. As we started back down the street, a guy coming toward us in his car with his window down yelled out that he would open the shop for us. So we went back and met Thomas.
Thomas owns and operates Foothills Yarn & Fiber, where he raises Alpacas and spins yarn and sells yarn he gets from Peru. He was very enthusiastic about showing and telling us about all the products. He had been in some maritime business and someone bought his business and he came to the Hood River Valley and started his Alpaca business with his wife. He was very friendly and I really like the products in his shop (I came away with some gifts and Alpaca socks for myself). When I asked for his picture he was the one that suggested that he start spinning yarn and he continued to talk while I took some photographs of him. He then proceeded to tell us about how he and his wife were in Fortune magazine (for their Alpaca business) and in a credit card commercial (American Express, I think). So I guess he is no stranger to being in front of the camera!
If you are ever in the Hood River Valley, I would check out his shop, it is in a beautiful rural area.

Another Nick - I had actually made this photo prior to Stranger #21, but had to wait to develop the roll of film it was captured on.
Nick was visiting the area from Canada's East Coast, taking in all the local attractions (Niagara Falls, Exotic Cars, local brewery craft beers etc). You can see here he has photographic interests as well. We chatted about the exercise of meeting new people and asking them for a photo as being an important way to develop confidence as a photographer. Nick obliged the request for a photo after he and I had bothed photographed a bright red Italian sports car.
Maybe NIck will join the project.

This is Ellsworth. He asked me to take his picture and was very excited when I agreed and explained the '100 Strangers Project.' Once I turned my camera on him he seemed a little shy so, I didn't get too many shots. I met Ellsworth when I was racing into 'The Markets at Highlandtown' to find a bathroom. There wasn't a public restroom but he was kind enough to let me use the employees. Thanks Ellsworth:) I think he thought I was a professional photographer. I overheard him discussing who I was with his fellow employees when I left. Flickr is as famous as I can make him.

Always in Auckland. It was difficult to find strangers for picture: everybody was in a group of three or more people and it is difficult to ask in such condition. I saw another couple. As the previous one, they both were wearing sunglasses. I ask for the project and they agreed. This guy is widely more photogenic without his glasses, and as the stranger #47 , his gaze perfectly complete his expression, but in a different way. I find he looks more serious and a little bit perplexe maybe, with his screwed up eyes :)
He was the 49th stranger in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at www.100strangers.com/
Project on strangers with the concept of approaching people and asking them what their favourite piece of clothing is.
I've been to eat at Wild About Harry's in Dallas a few times, but today I actually got to meet Harry and ask him to be part of the project. He had a broom in hand and was sweeping up the lobby when I realized who he was. He told me he used to be in the "rag business"--ladies' clothing. "I used to sell them, not wear them," he said. When the company he sold for went bankrupt, he followed his dream to open his own hotdog shop. I posed him next to the hotdog sculpture out front of the restaurant.
Thanks for posing and chatting, Harry!
He is my sixty-fifth stranger in the Flickr challenge to shoot photos of 100 strangers: www.flickr.com/groups/100strangers/.

papa t (tyrice a. dixon) introduced himself to me while i was walking down to the st. patty's day parade in baltimore. papa t is a local musician who can often be found at the mount royal tavern. he asked me to photograph him, showed me a newspaper article about his life and music, and gave me his cd.
he is a former drug addict who says that music inspired him to get his life cleaned up. he plays with the 'charm city drum band' and his latest album is called 'serenity in charm city.'
the article in the newspaper the 'b. free daily' says, "papa t. is a baltimore troubadour in the truest sense of the phrase." he sings "coarse blues with an inflection that seems almost jamaican."
i plan on visiting papa t at the mount royal tavern soon. i would love to hear him sing live:) he also asked if i would drop off the photographs. i am looking forward to seeing him soon. i haven't listened to his cd yet, i will add more about his music when i get a chance.

My Flickr Stranger #14 is Lorri, part of the waitstaff at the Cypress Creek Cafe
in Wimberley, Texas. This is where stopped for lunch when traveling the Hill
Country of Texas with my Flickr friend Karen aka travelinfool55, her husband
Leon, and my friend Nina. And we were blessed to have Lorri taking good care
of us as we dined at CCC. We had some delicious Texas Chicken Fried Steak
with yummy sweet potato fries along with a fresh mixed green salad, topped off
with some fried okra & onion rings. (Hoping Karen shares her photos of some
of the great food. She does a wonderful job on food captures!!!) Lorri luvs working
at the CCC and luvs living in the Wimberley area actually at Canyon Lake since
her husband was transferred to Austin from Waco a few years back. She was very
thoughtful and a fantastic server. It was a lovely stop for lunch!!! Thanks so much to
Lorri for an enjoyable dining experience and for wanting to be one of my Strangers
on Flickr!!!!

While I was showing family the city of Amsterdam, we had a seat in the Vondelpark. After that we took a stroll and Jolien was handing out bottles of sparkling water. I asked her for some but she wouldn't give them as we did not have had a seat on the terrace of the restaurant. A moment later I was triggered to go back and ask if she wanted to pose for my 100 strangers project.
She was quite suspicious but did not mind when I gave her my card with the Flickr URL.
Thanks for trusting me anyway, and for posing Jolien! As you see, you look very nice on the photo.

the light and colors in this one kind of reminds me of Wong Kar-wai...
except not as good...
When I saw Isabelle crossing the street towards us I knew that I wanted to meet her, but for some reason I hesitated which is not my usual reaction when stranger hunting. This meant that I had to do some running & chasing down before I managed to stop her & ask here for a photo. It took me the entire length of my blurb before she finally stopped walking at a furious pace.
She said I had to be quick, so I took a few shots after positioning her in the shade.
We then spoke about her current job in supply chain IT & how she is studying at University of NSW to be a Child Psychologist. I was quite surprised when I heard that Isabelle was originally from Uganda as I had recently shot another woman also from Uganda (Stranger #77, Mercy) only a few metres up the road. When I mentioned this and her name, Isabelle just stood there with her mouth open and then said “Oh my god, that’s my cousin!” (Small world, hey?)
At that point her interest in the project peaked & she looked more relaxed about the whole encounter. If only we had chatted BEFORE the shoot I would have seen a completely different person. Oh well, I am still happy we met.
Thanks for being part of my Strangers Project.

This is Regina, a happy person, and it was indeed her smile that caugth my attention when she crossed me on a square in Rotterdam. I did not react fast enough, and I don't have the nerves to run after someone (yet?) so I kept on walking and looking around at the square. A few minutes later, I saw her again, eating something from a little stand. That was the ideal moment to ask her if I could take her picture. She was okay with it, only hoping she did not have to 'pose'. First we talked a bit, so she had time to finnish what she was eating. She originaly lived in Tilburg, but moved to Rotterdam because it is more like a big city with much more going on, and also because of her work. When I asked her if she had a dream in her life, she had to think hard and found that she was very happy with her life as it is. It is nice to see people being happy with what they have in this moment.
I think Regina is a very beautiful woman, and certainly her smile adds even more to that beauty. But even when it was her smile that drew my attention, I choose to put up another picture of her. It was late afternoon, the daylight already fading, and under this light conditions it was not easy to get a sharp shot. I choose shutterpriority this time, to be shure that I kept some sharpness and hence adapted the ISO settings. Regina kept very still, and occassionaly broke out in a wonderful smile, but these shots are not so sharp. I did post one of these though in my stream, because it would be a pity not to.
The late afternoon dusk is adding to the blueish color tones, which I like. This is the image as it came out of the camera, no post processing of any kind.
Thank you Regina for your time, keep on being happy and keep on smiling. Your smile is probably the most beautiful thing you could ware!

Stranger #3 is Erik in front of the truck he uses working for Seattle Public Utilities keeping all the storm drains in Seattle clear. We get so much rain here and all that water has to go somewhere. Erik keeps the system clear by removing all the garbage that we throw into it. Thanks Erik!
We were walking along the Taff trail near Cardiff today. A bunch of people were clearing debris from the river bank as part of the Keep Wales Tidy scheme.. This is Chris who was looking after the cleaning volunteers.We chatted to him for a while and offered our services for a future project. Chris allowed m to photograph him for the 100 strangers project.

This is Frank. After deciding I was going to get any stranger at any location I can find, I saw Frank's wife arguing with Mormon missionaries. It was funny because she had her whole body involved! I pulled over and asked to take pictures of the missionaries, but Frank's wife was a little irritable and told me to hold. So, I visited with Frank.
Frank is just as colorful a character as his wife. He is posed next to his "Tree of Life." He doesn't know why his wife hung Winnie the Pooh from the Tree of Life, but it seems to be the focal point of this photo... lol. The tree was an aspen post that sprouted after he purchased it. He informed me that I could pray at this post and I would be healed. He reports jobs gained as a result of people praying at this tree.
Today was a frustrating stranger day. I drove all around three towns looking for a stranger in pleasant settings... I found none. There aren't many people here, and there are very few places they congregate together...some of which I am not going to visit. Anyway...the point is that I'm frustrated. I don't like this photo one bit, and I came very close to breaking my self-imposed rule of posting all attempts - failures and all.
Also, my camera made weird vibrating sounds while taking this photo. I just got the camera and lens repaired... I don't know if it is the image stabilization in the lens, or what... any ideas? The thought of having to send the camera or lens in again makes me want to cry!

Kickstarting the 100 Strangers Project again. A trip to Howletts Zoo to get some shots and we got talking to Martin who was asking about our lenses and views on digital vs film photography. Martin was chilling out on a bench at Howletts enjoying the sunshine. He is a writer and is back in the UK for a year, his other home is Romania. We had a great chat with Martin and I thought it would be an ideal opportunity to ask for his photo and get back into the project. Plus, I loved his attitude and hat!
It was nice to meet you Martin and thanks for letting me take your photo.

This is Mike, my stranger #57. I met him in Cardiff today and we chatted for five minutes or so. We discussed the change of St Mary's street to pedestrian only and both agreed it was an improvement. Mike is retired, but used to work in the local tourist information office. We also talked about photography and film camera's. Mike uses a Leica occasionally, but didn't know which one.

This man was enjoying a nice afternoon at the Sola Beach outside Stavanger. His kids were playing a little further down the beach, and he was grateful for some piece and quiet and time to read the Saturday paper. I told him alittle bit about myself, but the conversation was shortish: he was squatting on a blanket on the sands, while I was standing, and the difference in height makes the situation asymmetrical in some way. I did not ask about his eye patch, and I did not get a name.

All my strangers can be seen in 100 Strangers set.
This is Carol.
Like Ambi (Stranger 1), I approached her at market. When I explained the project to her, she agreed to participate, although I immediately sensed that she was feeling pretty self conscious about it. I tried to draw her out, but had very little luck learning much about her other than that she originally comes from Goroka. She wouldn't even look at the camera for the first few shots, and then I got an embarrassed smile which ended like this. Thank you, I told her. That wonderful smile is exactly why I approached you!
This was early morning, and the sun decided to pop out from behind the hills right when I was taking Carol's photo. I wasn't looking for direct sunlight, but that's what I got.
I'm beginning to see that this project will be a challenge for me, since I live in a rural area and don't get out much. Market is a natural gathering time, but it may not be the ideal place for portraits, as there is always a crowd watching what I'm doing! It's a small community, and I've probably already got the reputation of "that waitskin lady who is going to ask to take your picture."
Thanks, Carol, for sharing your smile!

This is my hitchhiking stranger. He said I could call him that. :) I met Sergio at the park as he waited for a Greyhound bus to arrive. I was there to practice some lighting and was hauling my light stands and umbrellas when he asked me if I had the time. I gave him the time and went on my way after hitting myself in the mouth with a light stand. Sergio must have been bored after waiting over an hour so he came to see what I was doing. That's when I asked him to be a part of my project.
Sergio and I talked about his journey. He's from Salt Lake City and is finally heading home after hitchhiking to Nevada. When asked what he likes to do, photography was his response. He enjoys shooting landscapes. I wish him a safe trip and hope he is still not waiting for that bus as I type. :)

strobist info - I used an sb600 in an umbrella softbox with large reflector below it camera right.
After a couple months of no strangers, I've started back up again! This is my third stranger from Culvers, and second against this background. I had good intentions of moving to a pine tree, but then I completely forgot when I got outside!
I saw Jennifer when I entered Culvers, and her eyes jumped out at me. I waited till she was leaving and then followed her out to ask if I could take her photo. She said yes right away, and I explained the project a bit more.
After taking a few pictures I asked Jennifer if she would tell me a bit about herself. She is a mother of 4, and has been married for 24 years. Jennifer works with the mentally handicapped in a town close by. When I asked her for a fun fact about herself, she thought for a bit, and then told me she was spontaneous, and fun loving.
It was nice to meet you Jennifer! I hope you like the photo. Thanks for being part of the project!
I spotted Julian in The Shambles in York standing outside the Monkbar Chocolatiers and I had a few minutes spare, so I asked him if I could take his portrait for my project. I was pleasantly surprised when he agreed.
Julian works as a Police Community Support Officer and his patch is any where within the boundaries of the city walls. He works a shift pattern of 6 days on, 3 off and enjoys the varied nature of the job. Julian started as a PCSO in June last year; prior to that he worked for HMV for 20 years.
Many thanks for letting me take your photo and I hope that you get to see it.

Went through some old photos while I was in Argentina... a shot of a stranger I asked to photograph while I was in Woodstock.
I just asked him if I could photograph him. He just gave me a nod and I gave him a tiny bit of direction but nothing else. He was a nice guy that just seemed comfortable in his own skin, and I thought his dress (like an all-black lumberjack?) was funny in comparison with all the flowery people of Woodstock.

I stopped to watch the boisterous fraternity rush that was going on, when I noticed another spectator standing in front of me. He didn't seem to be in a hurry so I tapped his shoulder and asked if he wouldn't mind if I took a picture of him. He seem shocked that I would ask. "Me?" he asked with both hands pointing to himself. He agreed, stepped back, and posed. He was wearing these stylish sunglasses that were mirrored so that I could see myself in them. I loved the look, but I wanted more of him. I asked if he would remove them, and he did so. Thank heavens because underneath the glasses were eyes that could set the entire campus on fire. He didn't take one single bad shot. They were all model material. He just knew how to work the camera. I asked his name and he insisted that he write it down himself saying, "my name is very complicated,,," I guess when simply pronounced, people can't spell it correctly. He too had an accent. I asked where he was from and he said, "I am from Venezuela." He had a swagger about him...a cool calm demeanor. It was quite interesting. I gave him my card, thanked him and went on my merry way.

Name unknown.
So this is my first picture of a strangers project, and I guess I'm kind of breaking the rules. I don't know this man's name, but that's only because I don't think he's able to speak. So it's okay, right? Either way, I think it is. We were on the way downtown on the bus and he came up to me and shook my hand and starting poking and pointing at my camera. So I tried to hand it to him but he didn't take it. The dude sitting next to me told me that this guy is always walking around the city and gets people to take pictures of him. It was chill. I wish he could've spoken to me, but whatevs. Anyway, I think this was a good picture to start out with. Peace out.

Donald and his friend Percy were sitting in a park in the shade. It was a very warm day and I approached them as they chatted. I greeted them and they were more than happy to be a part of the project. As we got to chatting I noticed that they had bags near the picnic table. They were homeless and I only now realized it. What struck me as interesting was that we were chatting about politics. This is about to get political, you've been warned. They had so many opinions about the upcoming election (between Clinton and Trump 2016) but I wondered if they had the ability to vote. I live in Indiana, where voter ID is required. But since these men were homeless they didn't have a permanent address so they would be unable to get the proper identification.
Ken and I joined the same street photography workshop, but since we have never met before I decided he was OK to be my next stranger. Ken has had an interest in photography since he was about 14 years old, and had been attracted to this workshop for much the same reason as me - something did not have much experience in and wanted to learn more.
This was also my first outing with my brand new compact camera so I found I had a lot to learn!
I welcome constructive comments about this image.

Brendon is one off the last in Line who fish from the shore line .. An ancient / Roman time pursuit , done by crossing the Mud flats of the sea on wooden sledges / trolley / Mud Horse ! They go two miles out on trechorous sinking mud to go and collect the fish that have been caught in the nets that have been tied to stakes. They have approx two hours to collect the days catch and push themsleves back , the tide is one of the highest and quickest in Europe so one has to keep an eye on the tide or you will never get back. The picture i included is the wooden sea horse plus the fish shed , where the fish is sold to the locals from far and wide. Brendon's Son has now taken over , they fish for 8 days then take a break pending the moon and tide ... Start all over again. These guys are serious ! Believe you me .. The only family fishing this way in The whole of Europe. Now , this is part of the story as i have been asked to go out with Adrain and photo while out in the mud flats !! A possible chance .. least there is no heights involved but i cant swim , never go in the sea lol ( The tide is out but one will be looking over one' s shoulder to keep an eye on the tide !! In B&W it will be spectaular but then again sinking mud .. just you and the Mud Horse to keep you from sinking .. Rather you than me but anything for a photo !!
If you google Stolford , Mud Horse . sellick , you will see the history on what they do !!
This will be my last post now so tally ho ! Im planned and ready for the off .. catch up mid september ... Good luck to all you new members of this fantastic project CJ.. keep snapping and the well established members go slow !! I will be back
I met Amy in Cardiff shopping centre. I took a candid shot of her and she asked me what I did with my pictures. I told her about the strangers project and asked her if I could take a portrait of her.

I was out for a walk with my wife along the River Thames at Abingdon when we spotted 2 (fully clothed) ladies on the river bank with swimming hats and goggles in their hands. Intrigued, I asked if they were planning on swimming in the river, which is pretty unusual at any time of year, let alone early April, to which the answer was 'yes'. They were going to swim from opposite Abbey Meadows down to St Helen's Wharf (about half-a-mile).
I explained that I was working on a 100 Strangers Project and asked if I could take their photos. I was planning on taking the photos once they were in the water, but the setting sun was a bit too low and the water was in shadow, so we agreed to take the portraits in the golden light on the river bank.
This is Karen, and her swimming buddy is Kate (Stranger 023) whose photo I have already posted.
Many thanks Karen for letting me take your photo for the project and I hope you get to see it - sorry I didn't have my business cards on me.

This is Luke and I met him this morning at Chilton Garden Centre in Oxfordshire where I had breakfast with my wife. I approached him, asked if I could take his photo for the project and he was happy to oblige.
It turns out that he is also interested in photography and he recommended looking at the Humans of New York project (www.humansofnewyork.com/), which has similarities to the 100 Strangers project. I've had a quick look this afternoon and I will definitely spend more time looking at the images and encounters on there for inspiration. It's great to learn something new from a stranger - Thanks Luke!
This time I decided to go for a wider shot and include some of the environment to give context. I can say that I was a lot less apprehensive about asking and composing the image this time and I'm sure it'll get easier. My next target is to get out of my comfort zone and not rely on approaching strangers in the restaurants where I have breakfast. #003 will be different, I promise.
... and just in case you are wondering, I had the Great British Breakfast with a medium Americano and it was delicious.
This is Peter. I met him in Cardiff and noticed he had a Nikon. Then he told me it was the new D800 and I was a bit jellous, especially as he had the 14-24mm Nikkor lens as well. We wandered around shooting for about an hour. I told him about the 100 strangers and he let me take the picture.
