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 #47


Meet Aaron Lee.

"I'm in the Army, and I've been serving for about 3 years. I was a religion major when I was in college, and I actually roomed with half a dozen criminal justice majors. I was interested in seeing what different people believed in. I'll tell you that the mission we're on is homeland defense and any time that there is a major occurrence such as an earthquake, we go in and answer to FEMA and/or civil authorities. A lot of people think that when the military is called that we take over, but we actually don't do anything unless we are told to!"- Aaron
