Stranger 26: Jorge Luis
Jorge Luis is another bus stop stranger. He’s from Cuba and speaks only “little Spanish, little English.” My own little Spanish does not include “I’m doing this project where I take pictures of strangers,” so I just said it slower … Continue reading
Stranger 25: Patricia
I spoke with Patricia a couple times today before I finally asked to take her picture: once, in passing in the apartment parking lot, once in the laundry room, and then again in the laundry room when I went to … Continue reading
Stranger 24: AJ
Ok, I lied. Apparently this is going to become an every-few-days project. I approached AJ yesterday at the bus stop. Obviously, he agreed to have his photograph taken, and he took off his hood for the photo. …and then I … Continue reading
Stranger 23: Randy

Stranger 20: Whitney
Whitney and I are both in Houston, Texas. I took his photo and made sure to crop out the logos on his work shirt. Since Whitney hesitated some about having his photo taken, that’s all I’m going to say about … Continue reading
Stranger 19: Dawn
I approached Dawn while she was studying at a cafe. She didn’t want any personal information online beyond her name, so I will only say that she and I had the longest exchange I’ve had with a stranger (with this … Continue reading
Stranger 18: Josh
I missed yesterday’s stranger – I forgot my camera at home when I went to the gym in the morning, and then missed all my other opportunities. I also forgot that this is part of my 365 project, and didn’t … Continue reading
Stranger 17: Another Ted
Ted was very patient while we tried to get Blue to look at the camera. She finally did after I said, “PUP!” (his advice), but I liked this photo better. Smiley dog. I wish I hadn’t chopped her legs off… … Continue reading
