A portrait of a weathered farmer in Cappadocia, Turkey. While enroute from Göreme to Uçhisar Castle in Cappadocia, we bumped into him. He ecstatically practiced his English while he shared a cup of tea and fresh-squeezed orange juice with me and my wife. About 30 minutes into our stay, a strong storm gust unexpectedly blew through the shop. This photo happened right before the storm gust hit. Immediately after this was taken, he ushered us out of the shop and urged us to run back to Göreme as quickly as possible. With several pounds of camera equipment strapped on, My wife and I jogged/ran most of the way back to Göreme through a thunderstorm. We dodged the brunt of the downpour by just a few seconds.
Here my Sarge and I are celebrating my birthday. I'm wearing my new cap for the event.

The other week in London I had the chance to meet up with Colin, a superb photographer and member of the 100 Strangers project for a few hours. Around midday we finished shooting and met up with my wife and another superb photographer (also part of the 100 Strangers group), TR3 - to head up to Covent Garden for a coffee.
Just as we approached Starbucks I bumped into Emma and broke on my conversation to ask if I could take her portrait. Emma was tall and had a striking contrast of red hat, bond hair and blue eyes that I thought would be excellent in a picture.
She stopped, allowed me to take a few shots and then on I went to the coffee shop behind her.
This picture makes me smile as you can see Ted's blue hooded form standing back right..waiting for his coffee!
This is the 77th portrait in my 100 Strangers Project round 2.

Another day, another clear blue sky & sun. Time to climb some rocks and see if any Goonie style pirate ships could be seen. Sadly none were found so time to jump back in the truck and say goodbye to the coast for now. Like Arnie, he'll be back!

Ryan sells Sun-Times newspapers on the corner of Randolph and Dearborn, by McDonald's. He is always there, with his Sun-times gear on. Today around lunchtime, I saw him panhandling. We talked and he was telling me that he sells papers, but he's trying to do what he can to make more money. The place he stays charges $17 rent per night. There's "chicken wire" around it and people sell drugs there. He said at one point he was staying with a cartel boss, but "you don't cross him or they'll find someone to kill you!" He's been out here for about five years, selling papers. "If I was president", he said, "I'd build housing for the homeless".

Venice, Italy
Think of Venice and you immediately think of gondoliers - the first ever mention of an Italian gondola was in Venice in 1094 and, of course, as long as there's been gondolas there's been gondoliers to drive them..
Can anyone be a gondolier? The simple answer is no! Driving an Italian gondola has always been very much a ‘closed shop’. The gondolier’s licence used to be passed from father to son, or if there was no son, to another male family member. These days it's even more difficult to get a licence. Every gondolier must belong to the strictly controlled thousand-year-old Gondolier’s Guild. He must find an experienced gondola driver to act as mentor, attend four hundred hours of instruction, and later pass a rigorous examination which tests not only physical endurance but navigational skills, knowledge of other languages and, most importantly, knowledge of Venice’s culture and sights. There are 425 licensed gondoliers. Once they have passed the examination, both theory and practice, they must await acceptance, but they are sworn to secrecy about the details of the tests.
It has always been deemed a male profession but Giorgia Boscolo changed all that when she became the first women to complete the rigorous training in August 2010. She was given her licence despite reservations not only from the Gondoliers’ Guild, but from her gondolier driving father who commented that he was not sure whether it was a “suitable profession” for a woman.
Being a gondolier is very much a revered profession in Venice - before you scoff at the cost of riding in one, spare a thought that the cost of becoming a gondolier and getting a licence is probably the equivalent cost of lumbering yourself with a decent sized mortgage in the UK!
A gondolier's uniform is very strictly regulated and their clothes are all purchased from a shop next to the Rialto Bridge. In the summer, they wear a white sailor’s shirt or a striped tee shirt (red or navy - this is personal choice and nothing to do with experience!) and a straw boater with matching band. In the cold weather, a navy woollen reefer jacket of traditional style is worn. It can get frosty in Venice in winter and they combat the cold by wearing balaclavas under their straw boaters, making them look rather sinister I think but who cares if it keeps them warm!.
These two gondoliers have each added a very modern twist to their uniforms - I'm not sure how they've managed to flaunt the strict regulations ... and get away with it!
Larry was outside McDonalds on the corner of Dearborn and Randolph. He’s been homeless for about 7 1/2 years. He said he’s getting some money at the end of the year and then “I’m getting the heck outta Dodge”. He’s just trying to supplement his income at the moment. He wants people to know that he is “home”, not “homeless” and that God is good and blesses him.
We ordered a baseball cap, we received a set of pristine Austrian 78RPM records, likely pressed in Switzerland around 1940. I love randomness. FYI we love old records. Sadly we know someone is missing these gems, and plan on shipping them back, we hope these delicate disks make it it back.
James has been out here for about 3 months, on the corner of Wabash and Madison. Regarding homeless folks he said “there are good seeds and bad seeds, but not all of us are bad.” James is one of the good ones. From the outset, he was positive and had a smile on his face. Pretty amazing considering he sleeps on the street every day. Everyone has a story, he said. He wants to know what it feels like to not be in need. He’s trying to make money to get by. I asked where he sleeps, and he pointed over by some stairs. He sleeps where he can. In the wintertime, he’s in the warming shelter.

This challenge really did confuse me, so there wasn't much need for acting. I was going to set this in a big grassy field but my little man has a cold and cough, so i didn't want to drag him out... so my back garden had to suffice!
Apologies to all Irish people, no offence intended, it was the only cap in the house, given to my kids by their very Irish grandma!
ODC- confusion

Fred and his dog Bess were seated near the corner of Wacker and Randolph. Before his mom passed away, she told him, "take care of my Bess". So, ever since, Fred's been watching out for her. He asked his mom, "Why do you call her 'Bess'?" She responded, "Because she's the Best". Fred used to be on dialysis. He waited 4 1/2 years for a kidney and finally got one. His life has completely changed as a result. His doctor told him, "you're a miracle". Once he recovers fully, he'll start looking for work again. He was working in a hospital doing maintenance. He said, "this (sitting outside asking for money) isn't fun, but I have to do what I have to do." He uses some of his money for a room to live and take care of his dog. He wants people to know that he's a good person.
