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 #18


Stranger #18-

Did you say hi to anyone who walked past you today? I did. Not only did I say hello, but I introduced myself and conversed with one of those people too!

Meet Alexa. This is what Alexa chose to tell me-

"I'm 19, and I am a sophmore from New Jersey. I know, not one of the best states to say that I'm from. I am a health administration major and I have no fucking clue what I want to do when I graduate, no fucking clue at all. All I know is that I will be working in a hospital. My first kiss was in back of a storage room, right next to a broken elevator. I'm in love with one direction!"

My response? One direction, meaning....? Alexa says back "oh, (she laughs) a British band, they're awesome!"
