Capture a Stranger

Hi all .. I was going through some old folders doing some housekeeping and I came across this one which I'd forgotten. I took this in a hospital near Kathmandu in Nepal a few years ago now. She had leprosy. Fortunately, she had sought help early enough to deal with it before it became disfiguring. I like to think she lives a normal life now - maybe married with children of her own.

Leprosy? Wow. I don't know why I am surprised. I guess living here in the U.S. many of these sicknesses are taken for granted.. Good capture and your description brings it to life.

Another foggy afternoon in Maine...

Beautiful shot Mike. I think Almo got a bunch of us cleaning files and I've come across a lot of 'strager shots', too. Just haven't had time to process them.

I gave this stranger a good scratching after I took his picture too. I found out his name is Miles and he is 3. He was featured in a local magazine promoting local dog parks recently :)

Here are a few strangers I encountered this weekend.

I love all of these! You rock at strangers. I love the 2nd image you posted the best. I wish I could do that.

Has anyone here ever had a really bad reaction from a stranger when you took their picture?

I have found that 95% of folks like to have their picture taken and 4% don't care and 1% will likely shoot you. :)

Most of the ones I get are completely unaware which is how I prefer it. Something about people changes when they know.

Two more from today. :)
