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 #43


Stranger #43

Meet Bob.

"I'm a 57 year old retired union carpenter. I've been married for 33 years, and you're just in luck because I love to talk to people! I have a daughter and two sons. Since I've been retired, I take my dogs for walks in the park, and bicycle. I'm that person that never had much time to myself when I worked; I never had much relax time at all. So, I take people to their doctors appointments, I watch my grandchildren, and I help people whenever I can. I'm a scout leader, and I have been for 20 years. I try to stay active with that!"- Bob
