100 Strangers. The beginning.

I saw a photography project not too long ago where someone took 100 photos of strangers. Then I stumbled upon Humans of New York. WOW. I've become very intrigued by the idea of street photography and photographing individuals I don't know. My first photo was taken in an amazing cafe, Citizen, in Seattle, WA.

I was so nervous. It took almost my whole meal to ask her (with great encouragement from my companions) and I even had to run and grab my camera before I asked her. My heart was racing, I stumbled over my words but once I held the camera up I was so stoked to see what an intensely amazing person I had chosen for my first shot. She laughed a few times and then I took this one.

I got the nerve to do a little more street photography at Pike's Place market and ended up asking 4 more people!
