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 #84


Meet Melissa Santos.

"I had my son when I was 15, and that was a huge struggle for me. I worked at it, because it was worth it! Now, I'm a vice president for a staffing company, and I've been there for 3 years. I have another child, my daughter, and she goes to Temple. She's a nursing student! My son is 25, and my daughter is 20. I met my husband (we are separated now) when I was 13, and we were together for 16 years. We eventually grew apart, and grew up. We started to become interested in different things, but we still get along great! I actually still go on vacations with his sister. I love playing pool! I shoot for Daly's pool league, and I've been shooting for four years; I'm ranked a 3!"- Melissa
