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 #60

Meet Emily.


"I'm an art major with a concentration in pre-art therapy. I was going to do drawing but they didn't offer the program when I came here. I make a lot of my own jewelry, mostly hemp jewelry. I was going to sell it, but I haven't gotten around to it. I feel weird calling myself an artist because I'm not really doing shows and I'm still a student. I do mostly figure drawing and some some paining. Pretty much outside of class, I do mostly portraits. I do a lot of nude figure drawing in classes. I like to watch a lot of movies. I'm a little bit of a nerd; I  play video games and I guess that's kinda nerdy at my age. I don't watch any sports, but I did when I was younger. I want to be an art therapist, so i'll be going on to grad school when I graduate." - Emily
