About Me

My photo
I'm not doing this project to necessarily make new longterm friends, or go have a drink with these people. Nor is it to pass any judgements on ones life. My goal is to simply meet interesting, and maybe not so interesting strangers who I wouldve never taken the time to talk to otherwise. One that may differ, or perhaps relate to my own life. So many times, you walk past someone, and they wont even raise their head in the slightest to say hello. I'll never understand why. The challenge to myself is not only to surpass that simple hello with one person a day, but to convince them to look into my lens and tell me something about themselves. My name is Amanda Surkin, and this is my journey of meeting 100 new faces. Take the time to listen, you may learn something :)

Stranger #87

Meet Kate.

"I'm into behavior in general, but more so animal behavior. You cant change a persons behavior unless they want to but you can manipulate an animals environment to change it. I just adopted a pit mix from the PSPCA. She's 7 months, and her name is Harper. She has all types of issues, shes a basket case! Ever since I've had her, she's become very friendly, and making a lot of progress. She was very aggressive before, she used to jump and lunge at you. With training, and getting her out to run about 5 miles a day, I can give her a warning and she knows. My days are spent mostly with dogs, I walk them, and then my nights are spent bartending. I've been bartending for 8 years, and I need to go back to school! I've planning on going to Emory for their animal behavior program. Right now, I have a bachelors in Psychology. I'm really into exotic animal research, and primate research!"- Kate
