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 #52


Meet Jessica Klein.

"I'm an only child. My parents were never around. When I was 6 my mom told me to make rice, and I didn't know to put water in it so I put it in the microwave and ate it hard. When I was 14, I met a guy who was 18 and somewhat took the role of of my parents. He was sexually and physically abusive. I broke up with him, ironically on my 18th birthday. I met someone else, and I've been going from relationship to relationship ever since. This is the first time that I've been single! I have a puppy which is helpful so I lean on her a lot!" - Jessica
