I decided to post them as one stranger, as opposed to two because Tanya was reticent about talking about herself, so I only really got Nik's information. As I was walking along the wharf with my son, I spotted the two of them struggling to take a photo of themselves with the Boardwalk in the background on one of their iPhones. I offered to help them out, talked with them a little and also took some photos of them using my camera.
Since then, I've photographed and met another 21 strangers, but haven't taken a stranger photo in about 6 weeks or so. I'm not sure why I haven't, just haven't really been using my camera quite as much and it always seems like I'm with other people when I see a possible stranger shot and I don't want to inconvenience my friends that I'm with. I'm sure I'll get back into the 100 Strangers project again soon.
Well, you know that I have never quibbled about you taking a shot while we are out caching. In fact, I've asked you once or twice about people that I thought you might take shots of. I know that I've seen you take a Stranger Photo at least once. I didn't think about it when we were in Elsinore; the guy we met on Lost Road might have worked. Anyway, I need to dig into your album of these, despite my general unease with portraits. These two seem to be a nice young couple: hope that they last.
ReplyDeleteI seriously thought about asking him for a photo, but I'd left my camera in the car and by the time we got back to the car, we were in take off mode. Had I had the camera on me at the time, I probably would have asked him.
