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 #57

Meet Samantha Valerio.


"I'm 19, I work at Rita's, and I've been working here for 3 years. I overcame depression. I was diagnosed, and it was due to a break up. I overcame my depression when I realized it just wasn't worth it. I was with him for 2 years. When you see the first signs, don't struggle, or beat yourself up over it. Just walk away early, or it will make your break up worse. I go to Bucks County Community College and I'm a communication major. I want to go into sports broadcasting!" - Samantha
