I think it will take just a few weeks now in 2017 to reach my original goal of 100 strangers....
Did it take you long to get the courage to ask people if you can photograph them? I've enjoyed meeting your strangers this past year! I'll never have courage to emulate you!
Wonderful! I knew this was you before I scrolled all the way down - there were so many great ones, I think it must have been difficult to choose only 12.
Brilliant collage each image beautifully capture Hazel, such an undertaking to capture 100 strangers portrait's, I'm sure you will complete it but will you be able to stop at 100:)
Jackie, thank you for your comments. The first portrait I did was a chap I met walking his dog over the fields. I had Jinks with me and when the man agreed to the photo I asked him to hold Jinks' lead. I really have never needed to think of courage.
Hazel you have took some wonderful photos of random people and told us a little bit about them. Very cool idea! If people are willing I would keep going with it.
What a great collection Hazel.....you'll have to pin this up on a notice board in Winchester so folk can see. How you've challenged yourself is admirable!

I think I won't stop!
sorry I am a bit absent at the moment. A lot going on here.
I understand, just look after yourself, too, Babs.
