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 #26


Stranger #26-

This man may look familiar to you! Does Cottman and Frankford Ave ring a bell? Yep! He stands on this corner almost every day in March until the 17th, wears a badass beard, and sells awesome hats in addition to other St. Paddys day related accessories!

Meet Arnie.

"My father did the same thing 50 years ago, this is why I'm out here. He sold hats and such just for St. Paddys Day too. I'm retired,  but doing this gets me out, and gets me to see the world!" - Arnie


If ya happen to walk by Arnie on the street, say hi to him! He's very nice! :)
