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 #33



Stranger #33-

Meet Don Amole.

"I used to be a huge golfer, but I injured my back and thumb. For my 60th birthday my sons bought me a metal detector. I go to random parks on my lunch break and look for old coins. It's become my hobby. I've always liked to collect old coins! They bought the metal detector for me in November, and I've found about $20.00 worth of quarters, and a good amount of dimes, but nothing collectible. I'm looking for coins that are older than 1964 or so, when coins were actually made in pure silver. It's a short story, but this is what I love to do for fun!" - Don
