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 #74

Meet Katie Sawyer.

"A lot of people always say that I smile a lot, and I'm always happy. I would say that it's true and for me, it's because of my faith and how that's changed my life. I can get through the struggles of every day life because I have the hope in something external. If you want me to tell you something not so deep, elephants are my favorite animal. In home videos, I got an elephant stuffed animal, and I guess that's where it all started. One of my bucket list goals is to go to every state in the United States and actually do something! So, going to the bathroom doesn't count!" - Katie
