100 Strangers Project: Melon
1 Mar. 2008 -
After doing some errands on Saturday (the sunniest, nicest day in quite some time), I walked out of a shop and noticed a woman across the street - leaning against a wall and writing in a notebook. That’s not something you see everyday, and she didn’t look like she was going anywhere soon, I approached her and asked her if she’d help me out with my photography project. She agreed; I told her to keep doing what she was doing and I snapped some photos from a number of different angles in the harsh sunlight. It turns out that we were both helping each other out - she was observing the street and writing about what she saw for a class assignment. Now, I’m in her report, and she’s my stranger #3! I wish I knew if I had her name right, though.
