12 Strangers – #5

written by Thom - March 8th, 2010 at 10:01 pm

If you would like to read my Portrait of Words, please click HERE.

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.

You might have seen this fence before. As I was taking the photos this nice lady and her husband were walking by and I asked them for their picture by the flower. She readily agreed. Not so much him LOL. I like this photo real well. The Lady In Red! I love her smile. I hope you enjoy.

Please click on the photo to enlarge. Mahalo.

The Lady In Red

Hey, it’s only my opinion.

  1. What a joyful picture ! I also prefer to ask first unless I am far away, I had already a bad experience because I took a picture of a guy in a hairdresser shop and the door was open ! Geez, he made a mess, I just got the impression that he was “Wanted” somewhere ! I had to erase the picture ! He watched !

  2. Lady in red has a very warm smile!
