12 Strangers – #4

written by Thom - March 1st, 2010 at 10:01 pm

Ida at Idathue has a cool meme going on. The challenge goes something like this: 12 weeks. 12 strangers = 12 portraits. Here are the particulars direct from her blog:

Rules:

1.: the person I take the picture of must be a stranger.

2.: show the pictures here every Tuesday for the next 12 weeks.

Bonus points for actually stopping a person and asking if I can take his/her picture.

I’d love it if you’d play along too. There’s nothing quite as inspiring as a little group support and pressure ;-)

See you here next Tuesday.

You can get more information by clicking HERE. Thanks Ida for hosting.

I was at Waikiki Beach and thought there are plenty of strangers around here. And yes, after asking around I decided on these three to share. What I like about these is when I was taking the photos I asked them to just act normal. Do what they would be doing before I took the picture. I think they came out pretty well. And on the last one I almost got the famous plumbers crack!! LOL Awww the joys of Waikiki Beach. I hope you enjoy.

  1. I wished I could have sit there too ! and not in – 2°C ! It’s nice that you asked before, because I made once a bad experience. The guy got furious and I had to erase the picture ! Maybe he had already his picture somewhere with the words “Wanted” !

  2. Lovely pictures, Thom.
    Great job.

  7. great photo’s Thom, and good on you for asking them.

  8. They actually let you take photos of them? I’m surprised!

    Great photos!

  9. well,m i’m actually too shy to walk from stranger to stranger and ask them if i could take their photo… and i very rarely steal such photos as well so i admire you for your determination :)
    well done, my friend :)

  10. The beach looks lovely. Here we have gray skies and I am chilly today.

  11. ACK!!! I forgot! But I haven’t posted yet today… there’s still time! LOL!

  12. LOL!!! I DID like yours!!! You ASKED??? On the BEACH??? I like that 2nd guy! I can’t believe you ASKED! On the BEACH!

  13. Great shots! I love the natural look in these shots. How did you decide on whom to ask? I really need more determination to join challenges like this.

  14. The people-watching stranger looks ominous! I forgot about this meme and how much I like the pics! :)

  15. are you sure that you really asked to take pictures of them.. it doesn’t look like you asked them.. just just my opinions ok…

  16. Wow, you asked THREE strangers. I’m impressed! I wish I had the guts to do that!! My favourite is the guy with the tattoo, I wonder what it says?
