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 #85


Meet Moin Vahora

"I'm graduatimg, I actually just finished my last final, and I'm on my way to pick up my cap and gown. I'm a biology major, and I spent two and a half months looking at articles concerning Alzheimer's, and how to reduce the amount of plaques in the brain. I'm going to take the year off, take my GRE's, and go do something with neuroscience. I would like to be a neuro-scientist.  I'm from India, but I moved here when I was 11 months old. I only visited once or twice about ten years ago. I visited my family, rode elephants, and all of that. I like it better it, it's just really different. I did hear that India has become a bit more modernized though. They have McDonald's and all of that stuff there now, but they never had that before!"- Moin
