100 Strangers No.13

I went to Deal with afternoon to take some pictures from the end of the pier, but sadly it's undergoing construction work. However, I did meet Chris, who has worked on the pier for the past 23 years, and he very kindly agreed to let me take his picture for my project.

I gave Chris details of how to access the 365 website and where his picture would be, and he was so helpful. A little bit of bravery returned regarding asking strangers for a picture. I feared it had gone for good!

I hope Chris does take a look at the project, and he likes the shot I took. If he does, thanks very much for your kindness Chris:)

I have a little card that I give to my strangers , with my email address and a link to my 100 strangers project , Having a card adds a little bit of credibility too. My card has my name, location and "amateur photographer" on it :) I then say if you want a copy of the pic contact me via these details . Works well :)
