April 11th 2011

Today I went out and shot some more strangers, using the Hof as my main stem - seven new photographs! Exciting times, I'm 1/10 of the way there. Funnily enough, Roger (Stranger 10) was a photographer, and in return for having his picture taken, took mine! It's funny when you run into fellow photographers like that, always willing to shoot, yet we all hate to pose! haha!

Stranger 10:

Name: Roger

Age: Withheld

Roger works in customer service for a telecommunications company (and he doesn't live in India). He was having lunch when I interviewed him. Roger chose a Hunter S. Thompson quote to share with me, "Buy the ticket, take the ride".

Stranger 9:

Michelle is a cheese steward, who serves and knows a lot about cheese. She loves "The Simpsons".

Stranger 8:

Woof.

Stranger 7:

Name: Julian

Age: 23

Julian laughed when I asked what he was doing, and replied, "I'm being interviewed! What else did you want me to say?". Julian sees himself a barista, bartender and bass player. His favourite cartoon used to be "The Pink Panther".

Stranger 6:

Name: Jessie

Age: 57

Jessie is currently doing "not a hell of a lot" and every day she "gets up and worries". When asked to tell me something, she decided to share that "This too shall pass" and every moment, good and bad, shall soon be gone. Don't cling too much to the bad things, they'll pass soon.

Stranger 5:

Name: Michelle

Age: 41

Michelle is a full time florist and mother. She believed in looking at the positive in life and enjoys surrounding herself with nature, especially flowers and plants, and her family. She finds happiness in her son.

Stranger 4:

Nicolas described himself as a maintenance man, a fixer and an artist. He shared with me that he believed in looking down both sides of the mountain - you need to be able to see everything and everyone around you, though you may be away from them.
