About Strangers no more

You're invited to post pictures of strangers that you've met and spoke to! Pictures resulting from that first meeting mostly with a narrative describing the encounter. You must've had a conversation with the person.

Someone you met by chance.

Pictures taken from across the street, without having met the person, does not qualify.

In your narrative, consider answering questions such as:

Where and when did you meet the stranger and under what circumstances?

What did you learn about the stranger? What did you disclose to the stranger about yourself?

About how much time passed before you took the first picture? Did you have to convince the person? Was it easy; difficult? Have they seen the pictures? What was their reaction?

Have you remained in contact with the person?

Why did you want to photograph this person? Having done so, how do you feel about the person, who, hopefully is no longer a stranger?

Of course, you don't need to answer all those questions, but they serve as a guide to what we are looking for.
