I saw that my friend Mary was working on a 100 Strangers project that looked kind of cool. The concept is for photographers to find 100 strangers to befriend and shoot street portraits. It's a good chance to meet interesting people and improve your photography.
My first outing was at the National Mall on Earth Day. I found 12 strangers, from which I needed to pick one for my first post. I settled on Perry Grant, who was sitting on a bench that bordered the Mall. We had a pretty short conversation about nothing special, but it seemed he appreciated my stopping by. It was one of my more satisfying meetings of the day, so I chose him as my first stranger.
