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 #81

Meet Elena Christine.


"My favorite color is lime green. I'm allergic to chocolate, but I'm not horribly allergic. I still eat it all the time, and everyone yells at me! I'm Greek. This Easter we roasted a lamb on a spit over coals from 9am-5pm. It's a full lamb with eyelashes, eyeballs and all. One thing about me is that I never remember peoples names. I was born on the Jersey shore, and yes, unfortunately I like the show! I'm a film major and want to make music videos. I directed a summer camp for 2 years, and I was the youngest to ever direct. I'm happy that I'm #81; The number eight is my families lucky number! My parents met in the 8th month in 1988, and got married 8 months later. My birthday is on the 16th, and my brother's is on the 24th which are both multiples of 8!"- Elena
