Cirio Pascal. Cristo ressuscitou! #pascoa #ciriopascal #igrejacatolica #paroquiasaojosedojaguare www.ver.pro.br reeducando o olhar cotidiano. 03/04/2016.
I'm really, really bad with strangers and it usually takes me several encounters before I can open up ever so slightly.
I decided to participate in the 100 Strangers project some two months ago, after following Neil Winch for quite some time.
In other words, it took me two months to finally get out there and try it.
Today was the day!
I chose Zürich for my first time because there's thousands of people to encounter and I was sure that I would easily find someone there. aha..ha..
After entering the Bahnhofstrasse I was slightly overwhelmed by the shear masses of people passing by.
Countless interesting, beautiful people one could talk to if one had the balls..
I grabbed my DSLR tightly and stood there like a lost boy waiting for his mum.
After what felt like an eternity, I decided to sit on a bench and jump at the next passer-by that didn't seem too busy or dangerous.
They suddenly all looked terribly frightening and busy and after almost an hour I was about to give up when...
...this guy sits down next to me, making a phone call. He talks about filming and opportunities and that's when I decided that this had to be a sign.
I patiently waited for him to hang up, gave him a few more seconds to check some messages and then I finally got to talk to someone.
Meet Pascal
I explained my dire situation to him and he instantly nodded and told me how hard HE had it when he first started out with street photography, where for him the hardest part was aproaching people aswell.
How lucky can one get with the first time?
Pascal works in sales most of the time, making some money in filming and photography besides. He aspires to go full-time professional soon and I wish him all the best, should he happen to stumble upon this picture.
I asked for his permission to publish the picture on flickr and will e-mail him a few of the keepers.
There weren't many, though..
I only ever used the lens once with a student and shaking all over my body (from the cold) I couldn't get the focus most of the time.
I wanted to have the tattoo visible with a buttery background and some spots of warmth coming from the lights.
However, I totally missed that stupid sign in the background, which I had to burn by almost one stop so it wouldn't distract too much from the subject.
So, this was my first time and I can only hope that it won't be another 2 months till I get my shite together to get out there again, now that I'm kinda stoked about my "success".
Maybe, sometime in 2015 I will even manage to aproach a girl.. there's still time...
This picture is #1 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

Singer ánd actor Jean-Claude Pascal (1927-1992) was one of the romantic lovers of the French cinema in the 1950s. In 1961 he won the Eurovision Song Contest for Luxembourg singing 'Nous Les Amoureux'. In 1981 he was less successful with the song 'C'est peut-être pas l'Amérique'.
Jean-Claude Pascal was born as Jean-Claude Henri Roger Villeminot in Paris in 1927, into a family of textile manufacturers. He started his career as a fashion designer for Hermès. Later he met Christian Dior and became his stylist and also his model. When he designed costumes for the theatre-play Don Juan by Moliere he discovered his passion for acting. His first film as a jeune premier was Quattro rose rosse (1949, Nunzio Malasomma). In the 1950’s he became one of the romantic lovers of the French cinema. He was often seen in costume in such films as Le Grand Jeu (1954, Robert Siodmak), Le Chevalier de la nuit (1954, Robert Darène), Les Mauvaises rencontres (1955, Alexandre Astruc), Le Salaire du péché (1956, Denys de La Patellière) and La Belle et l’Empereur (1959, Axel Von Ambesser), with Romy Schneider.
The filmmakers of the Nouvelle Vague were not interested in Jean-Claude Pascal. His film work diminished and he switched to singing chansons such as Lily Marlene in German and French.. In 1961 he won the Eurovision Song Contest for Luxembourg singing Nous Les Amoureux. In 1981 he represented Luxembourg again in the Eurovision Song contest with C'est peut-être pas l'Amérique but finished 11th. In the meantime he incidentally played in popular films, including Le Rendez-vous (1961 Jean Delannoy), Angélique et le Sultan (1968, Bernard Borderie) and Unter den Dächern von St. Pauli (1970, Alfred Weidenmann). He worked for television and wrote in the 1980’s detective novels and historical portraits.
