About Me
- Amanda
- 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 #35
Meet Paul.
"Well, something about myself is that I may be going on channel 10 news! I've been having a lot of problems with my landlord lately. I watch NBC more than the other news channels, and i'll be contacting them, so you might see me on TV! I'm really interested in cars, but what guy isnt? I have a '97 Crown Victorian but I love old, classic cars. The cars of today are terrible, there's something wrong with the body style or something. I do like some of the minivans though, just like that one! (points at the van that drives by) The new cars of today just dont jump out at me. I love Nascar, and baseball would be my second favorite sport. For most, baseball would probably come first, but that's not the case for me! I used to do construction but I messed my back up. Doing construction for 23 years will take its toll on you, which is why I'm on disability. I've been looking to buy a house because I rent right an apartment now. I've been looking in Bensalem, but the prices are really high! (It was crazy when he said this considering 45 minutes before I talked to Paul, I looked at a house for sale in Bensalem!) I have to tell you, so many people like you come up to me to talk to me. I dont know why, but I have time; I'm just taking a break and eating a pretzel. I'm going to go down to Rite Aid after this. Goodluck with your project!"- Paul
