12 Strangers – #8

written by Thom - March 29th, 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.

Well I saw her sleeping at Kapiolani Park and took the photo. Nope, I couldn’t ask permission. She looked so peaceful sleeping how could I dare wake her up. :) I hope you enjoy.

  1. I could never sleep in public. How do people do that? Great shot.

  2. “peaceful slumber…” so sings Maria von Trapp :-)

  3. Now there’s a trusting peaceful soul :0)

  4. I don’t think I could feel comfortable sleeping alone out in public like that, but she sure looks cozy.

  5. I agree with the others–kinda scary to be sleeping there. Especially after all that’s been happening around there (but maybe it got better).

  6. I have taken photos of many sleeping strangers in Kapiolani park. It is like one big bed!

    • It’s gotten better a little. They aren’t letting those sleep there at night any longer. Or they do try and enforce that rule. We shall see :)

  7. i suppose you didn’t wake her to ask if you could take her photo ;)
    (nice one!)

  8. She looks so peaceful and comfortable

  9. She does look pretty damn comfy sunshine on her back, breeze in her hair, I am jealous! Neat strangers shot Thom you did great!

  10. great photo. Her bags say she’s been busy so that’s why she just lay in the sun for some rest.
    Again great photo.

  11. Awwwww… I like that picture. I am a complete and utter failure in the “strangers” meme… I keep forgetting. And while I will be somewhere today that would allow me to take stranger pictures, it’s not doing my blog any good NOW! *sigh*

  12. A nap in the sunshine would be bliss. I used to love lying out on the grass but here we can’t; even on a sunny day the ground is always wet and cold. I wonder what the lady’s dreaming?

  13. Nice! She looks so relaxed and comfy laying there in the sun!!
