50 Strangers

I was inspired by GirlHula's 52 Strangers photography project, in which she aimed to take a photo of a stranger each week for a year. So I've decided to try it myself, and took my first 2 portraits today. It was a bit scary approaching them at first, but both strangers were lovely, and agreed to me taking their photos. I'm excited about taking more and meeting more folks around Nottingham!

I've started a Flickr group here with a bit more info.

Happy Friday!

Here's wishing everyone a great weekend! (I have to get new passport photos and I'm dreading it, they're so unflattering, eep!)
