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 #62

Meet Marc.

"I was involved with the first Earth day in NYC in 1970. I did the clean air car race from MIT to Pasadena. In that race in 1970, we had hybrid cars, and it took all this time to get out to the public. It took 7 days to drive across the country. The government paid for the race, and here we are 42 years later with hybrid cars!"- Marc
