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 73

Meet Mark Namura.


"I'm a writer, and I've written novels already. I'm writing my second novel, and working on getting my first one published. They're general fiction novels. It's not something that I would rely on for work, it's just a hobby of mine. I'm a language polyglot (for those who've never heard of this term, like myself, it means able to write or speak several languages!) Whenever I hear a new language, I want to learn it. My theory is if I meet someone, I should be able to communicate with them. I don't think it's an obligation for the other person because it's a personal thing. I speak French and basics in other languages. I'd like to fully master French because I've studied it for seven years!" - Mark
