Wow. I honestly need to get more gutsy. I'd love to do stuff like this. On www.digital-photography-school.com they had a 100 Strangers challenge of taking 100 photos of complete strangers - both as a way to better your photography, but also to enhance your interactions with people...especially strangers. Great project. One day!!!!
@k1w1 - Good luck to you! :) It will take me a bit to work my way to that as well...not that I'm a shy person...I just don't feel very comfortable going up to complete strangers asking to take their photo!! Eeeks! Then I stop to think, what am I missing out on by not trying it? Hmmm.
As a woman, you have to show a great deal of confidence to approach people and ask them to do this. It can be done but if you are not confident yourself, you may not get the desired results.

Thank you all for the smiles :) I am really going to work on being able to do this one day...not hugging Padlock....although I might get to that at some point....I mean getting some strangers together on the street and taking some photos like this :)
Christine, I just found this thread. We can do this when we go to Toronto. It would be fantastic, are you up for it. I'm excited. I loved the video and know we can do it and engage others. Are you ready? @k1w1

Similar, yet different.
Thanks for sharing this, I always say a hug makes a difference...more hugs people MORE hugs :-)
