Patty & Bob - Strangers 8 & 9 /31 Strangers Project { Michigan Portrait Photographer }
Saturday, June 11, 2011
While in northern Michigan, the Strangers Project came with me! For 2 days, we had incredible dense fog along the Lake Michigan shore. It made for some spectacular shots while hiking, but it also was beautiful in Crystal Gardens in Frankfort, Michigan - one of my favorite places to wander & look for plants. While there, the fog rolled in even heavier & I thought I should take advantage of it for my stranger shots. Meet Patty - Stranger 8. She came to Crystal Gardens one day about 22 years ago looking for a job. She got the job & has loved it so much she never left! She said that what is even better than being in northern Michigan, is being there & having a job you love! I don't think I have ever met an unhappy person while on my trips Up North. I also ran into Bob (Stranger 9) wandering through the greenhouses. He said he is an amateur photographer who is inspired by the beauty of the area.

I love this project of yours! Just seeing the evidence of total strangers smiling back at you is awesome. Beautiful processing..you captured their joy and the beauty of the flowering season.
Found your page while looking for local wedding and event vendors to add to my list and wanted to let you know that I love your photography style : )
I'll keep the referrals coming!
