San Francisco, CA
I saw her lost in thought at the side of the road. She noticed me an instant before I took the photo but played along. I love it when people do that.

Well done Kash, nice feeling of the scene and her distant thoughts, especially in the first with the sleeping dog.

I like the repeated elbow bends that point at her sitting there behind the bench. << Great expressions in both.

Lea beat me to it! I also noticed the circle of elbows and knees (even the dog's), which made image #1 interesting to look at. I also like the woman's expression in #1. That's why I like #1 more the #2.

Haha! I was wondering if any of you would catch the fact that there are more elbows than faces in that image! I was about to crop the dog and the elbows out but decided to leave them in there because of the repetition of elbows.

Keshav: technically, in order for it to be a REAL Strangers Project entry, you needed to introduce yourself, ask permission to take her picture (the subject knowingly lets you take the picture) and find out her name and some interesting fact about her! Try that next time. It's okay to leave the tag on this one, we're not that strict. :)
