The 1st of my 100 Strangers Project

v35skyline · 10th of June 2012 (Sun)

Inspired by m.shalby and 100strangers.com. I've been talking about doing this 100 strangers project for a few months now, but I never got around to it (last year was the my first year of PT school - needless to say, it was a handful). But I finally started it today! I met Mike while hiking up Multnomah Falls. I got about 2000 feet up before I decided it was time to head back down. Mike was friendly enough to lead me down a new path so I didn't have to backtrack and see what I'd already seen.

Perhaps its the monitor here at work... but I am seeing an extremely heavy color-cast across Mike's face. Looks to be heavily green-yellow, not sure if this is intentional (but I find it to be a might distracting).

That having been said, I think I might follow suit here and start a 100 strangers type of project myself! A really cool idea, I just don't know if I have the cajones to randomly ask people if I can take their picture! Haha.

Ciao!

Wow, that's incredibly noticeable on my iPad! I processed this on my notebook as I'm away from home on an internship at the moment. I'll hafta fix this ASAP!

I went out to Portland's Saturday Market. Must have spent 4-5 hours out there. Did not work up the courage to ask a single person for their picture. Then Sunday was a different story. Having had success with Stranger No. 1, I think that takes some of the edge off me next time I go out. Really just gotta go out there and do it. Look for people who aren't in a rush, aren't talking on the phone, perhaps talking with or are in a small group of 2-3 people, start off by telling them what you're doing, ask politely, and the worst they can say is no.

I was wrong. I was still a nervous wreck for Stranger No. 2. And it came out a tad soft.

First there was Mike with jaundice, now a hitchhiking axe murderer?

#2 looks good, not too soft and lighting is good. Keep up the pace and never trust a man in a tunic.
