100 Strangers...

As if my life isn't busy enough... I've decided to branch out on a new project called "100 Strangers". The 100 Strangers project is a
Flickr group dedicated to taking street portraits, the challenge is to take 100 portraits of total strangers.

I was asked to be apart of this group by a complete stranger and in agreeing to do this project I've already made a new friend. I'm hoping for many other opportunities to meet new people along the way...Not to just snap a picture of them, but to really show an interest in their lives....To learn their names, where their from, and hopefully even hear a few stories about their journey in life.

I plan to meet people:

on the street
in restaurants
in stores
at parks
during summer playgroups
on trips away from home
etc...

Challenge description:

Stop people by the street, talk with them, ask if you can take a portrait. Post the picture to Flickr and 100 strangers pool and your blog. Try to get an idea who they are. Write a caption that tells something about the person in portrait. Describe how you got the photo. Don't post archive photos. Get out on the streets to take new ones. Keep on practicing. Don't try to get all 100 pictures during one session, but try to find different people in different locations. Try to get a wide array of portraits: rich, poor, white, black, working, doing sports, etc.

So If your interested in seeing my progress, check back to this blog often. I will also be using this blog to display my business photography and specials as well. I hope you enjoy following me on my new journey!

Blessings~
