Service with a :-) # 2 of 100

It's really a shame I can't remember her name, but she was such a pleasant and sunny person, I knew she had to be my next stranger. At the Cold Stone Creamery, she greeted EVERYONE with a smile and fun banter. I tried to capture just a little of that spirit. 

This is second stranger posted for my 100 Strangers Project. You can find out more about this project at www.100strangers.com/

Mr. Perry Grant, #1 of 100

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.
