It was hard to miss the bright purple hair in the flickering NYC subway lights. I had already started thinking about finishing my “100 Stranger Project” by the end of the year and knew this might be the person to get me back in the game. So, I introduced myself. After rubbing her eyes Johnea turned on her smile. Two clicks later, the girl with purple hair flipped around and walked up the stairs.
Tonight my wife and I enjoyed the Broadway show, “Waitress.” Jason Mraz and the cast were phenomenal. So, after the show, we hung around to see if I could tag Jason as #75. In the midst of him signing a couple of dozen autographs, I landed a moment for a few shots before he dove into a Mercedes that smelled like weed.
I met Ed Kautsch while walking through a small street fair in downtown Dallas, TX. His steampunk-inventor vibe was inescapable. So I introduced myself and asked about his sweet goggles. “I made them myself.” he replied. “One side was made from an old camera lens and the other was crafted from the gear of a sausage grinder.” I couldn’t help be think that I was in the presence of a true artist.
