i'm not sure when my fascination with strangers started
but
it's grown immensely over the past few years
and
i thank my camera for that
::
i talk to strangers often. just ask my hubby.
if he turns his head for a moment while we're out
let's say standing in line to buy movie tickets
it's pretty much a guarantee that i have already started a conversation with the people
behind us
by the time he turns to look at me again
saturday we took our daughter out for lunch
{cute isn't she}
to a cafe she hadn't been to and i couldn't help but snap a few photos
~
it's that warm kind of place
where i just have to believe that everyone who eats there
has a fascinating story behind them
these three girls were sweet
and
at one point the blonde in the window seat was laying on her back
soaking up the sun
because
it's that kind of a cafe
~
i asked if i could take their photo for the cafe series i was shooting
and
they said of course
{for those of you who lovingly leave your comments for me saying you could never take the stranger photos i take or even approach a stranger. all you have to do is ask}
when we were leaving
the street scene above
~even if my loved ones hadn't been in it~
jumped out me like something from a movie
~
it was a great saturday
and
there's even more photos to come
from later in the day

for fun and some unexplained reason, i shot all my photos on saturday in black and white. on my camera there are options for color and one of them is monochrome and to say i fell in love with this option is an understatement. the photos to me almost look like they are from a film camera and to not have to edit them is like a dream come true.
