I had my camera in a bag in my buddies hotel room collecting dust because carrying my Nikon D7000 and an SB700 flash. Taking photos of strangers on New Years was better as a great thought then actually getting the guts to follow through. But after running to the oversized Christmas tree 7 times to take photos of people with their own phones because they couldn't get their significant others in the frame and then getting ditched at 11:30 by my buddy, sparked me to grab my camera and strap up for humility and a little one on one. What I found were amazing subjects, gracious hosts and possibly a couple new friends. One step into street photography and no regrets.

I enjoyed these pictures and the write-up a lot. Numbers 3,5, and 6 are especially nice, Carl.

Thanks Warren!
I am really hoping to start running with an open heart when photographing strangers. I completely understand why someone would be intrigued in getting a camera you look down into instead of directly at your subject. My DSLR feels like I am aiming a missile turret at someones face.... It also doesn't make it simple to strike up a conversation when they are looking at your camera in fright before getting to know you. Wow... What a perspective changer.

Lena,
Strangers no longer ;) Great post! The 5th one feels like from a movie. Looking forward to seeing who else you meet with the camera.
