Capture a Stranger

At the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C.

This guy looked familiar but I just couldn't place him so I guess he qualifies as a stranger.

Hmmm...I know that guy from somewhere too. No, wait, don't tell me....

Oh, I know that guy, he is George Washington. :)

Greg I just wanted to commend you on this wonderfully successful thread. It's been going for nearly a year now and there doesn't seem to be an end in site. It's aways a a treat to log into it and see what else has been posted. Congratulations on a wonderful idea for a thread.

Thanks OT. I appreciate the kind words. I like to look through them as well from time to time and Capturing Strangers is great practice.

This is a great thread along with camera around the world. Greg does come up with some good ones.................

What a great thread! I just signed up on the site (at work) and will have to go out this weekend in search of something worthy to post! How exciting!

Thanks, I only wish that the sky wasn't washed out.

Great Jumpin' Jehosaphat! How does anyone actually get to buy anything at that market, Warren?

I took this last year

This one needs a bit of explaining-covered-up guys are "Rockers",well known around town,who do not wish to be identified having a good time at a "religious" live music show...
(my family band are sufis)-hence the headgear.....

Love this thread,great shots,all, Greg McCary-that is wonderful !

I took a trip to DC last week, while at the WW2 memorial my friend with me, Greg saw this gentleman walked up to him and asked if he was a WW2 vet, he said yes, Greg then asked if he could shake his hand, the gentleman replied yes, I also did the same. The gentleman was using a walker and had two others with him helping him get around. When I asked to take his photo, he said yes, I saw a change in him and the people helping him, his two helpers backed out of the photo and I could him stand a little taller! These guys are almost all gone. Take time to thank them.
