100 Strangers Project: Caitlin
1 March 2008 -
After I left Melon, I headed over to one of my favorite coffeeshops, and I noticed this woman just outside, smoking by the rack of vintage clothing. I had to ask her for her photo. She agreed and thought that the 100 strangers project was interesting. She was just relaxing outside during her break - she works at the vintage shop. Her photos are the first ones in this project that I’m really pleased with. She has beautiful eyes and a great face. Plus, she was in the shade, so these have the best lighting of the others I’ve taken. Doesn’t she look great in black and white?

I have to say K that this is such a cool thing you are doing. I would need to be much better at approaching people and taking pictures to take this on but it is really neat!
I hear you on the weight loss thing. Everyday seems different and sometimes better and sometimes worse. But I am so proud of all that you’ve done. It is really amazing and you look great!
Love ya!
Hey Liz - Thanks!
It’s taking me a long time to get up the courage to ask people for photos. A number of people have said no, and I’ve been too nervous or embarrassed to keep talking to them, or try to convince them. I still have a bunch of work to do on getting the confidence up, and then hopefully the photos will follow.
Love you too!
