portraits & snippets: Nick by quietpurplehaze

portraits & snippets: Nick

Almost exactly 3 years after he became Stranger No.24 in my portrait project, I met Nick again by chance in the walled garden at Hinton Ampner.

He is still working there as a volunteer and was happy to have his photo taken. And obviously very happy to be a National Trust volunteer.

His story here:

He doesn’t seem to have changed much...but I would say that, wouldn’t, I? How lovely to meet him again. I wonder if you’ve met any/many other 'previous' strangers again too?

I don’t think he has changed either. Yes I have met quite a few people at the almshouses at St Cross again, a lady at the garden centre, buskers in Winchester etc. These are just a few who come to mind - thank you for asking the question! I do tend to frequent the same local haunts!

How wonderful for both of you to meet again.

He looks to be such a charming and approachable man! There's a reason people volunteer in such wonderful places, and one, I think, is that they enjoy meeting people!

I would love to more about your project... I've been thinking of doing something similar .. possibly with pets or people.

I bet he remembered you Hazel, not easy to forget someone with a camera & a friendly face & way of asking! So lovely to catch up with your subjects again!

Maybe getting the second picture is easier.

i thought I recognised Nick , before I read your narrative Haze.

Always good to see strangers again

Lovely to see Nick again after 3 years I expect he was surprised to see you too.
