The First Photography.ca 100 Strangers Project

Thanks to JAS Photo for coming up with this idea I think it could be a lot of fun. I volunteered to start of with #1. Please keep count as you add to the thread. I know this is a bit of a repeat as I posted him in another thread but I wanted to use his image as a starting point. Can't wait to see the second one! Cheers

Good idea Iggy and Jas - and i JUST shot a stranger..try to post him later.

Ok - Posting my stranger now. Despite the intense gaze he gave me, I did indeed ask permission. (I usually do, not always but usually) Thx - Marko

# 5,6 and 7 shot at English Bay, Vancouver, in the spring of this year. Quite the place for people watching. It is not very easy to take pictures of people without being 'found out' ... but I think the most effective photography of people is the candid shot; to me, it tells a story, raw and unobstructed, honest and true.

#6 ... waiting for his ship to come in????



#7 ... patiently waiting for time to pass

This was a GREAT idea JAS! Nice. There are some really interesting shots showing up.

Well, kind of a cheat since I was there in part to take photos. It's hard to get candids when they know you are there to take photos, but I put on the long lens and sniped a few shots. So technically, this is a stranger, one of the many celebrants at Mark's Canada Day Happy Birthday Bash.

And that would be #8. Don't lose count Only 92 more to go!

Bert was one of the attendees of Mark's Canada Day Birthday Bash party and when the band took a break,the karaoke was on. Bert got up and sang. While he may have the craggy face of a life hard lived, he sang like an angel. One song was not enough for the crowd who clamored for more but Bert must have been an adherent to the adage leave them wanting more and sang only the one song.
