Stranger 17 ~ Sarah with an H {31 Strangers in 31 Days}

It was a good day at the North Market for photographing strangers for the 31 Strangers in 31 Days Project! I was feeling very happy & content after having a big bowl of soup (pho ga) at my favorite place, Lac Viet. It seemed everyone I photographed was happy & content! I ran into Sarah (Sarah with an H!) at Market Blooms - another of my favorite spots. They have THE best flowers! Sarah was happy to help me out & was surprised that I was so fast & caught her working. She had wanted to pose! So, she posed with Japanese Lanterns!

Stranger 3 ~ Sally

I ran into Sally at Rife's Market in Grandview Heights. When my family first moved to Columbus many years ago, we lived in Grandview Heights. Rife's Market (circa 1936) was my Mom's favorite haunt. And after all these years it is still the same inside & out - it has a wonderful timeless feel. The great corn brought Sally to Rife's the day I saw her. She agreed to be photographed, but asked that she not look at the camera. Sally's husband, a painter, often takes photos of people for his painting without asking (much to their ire!). So she was appreciative of my asking first!
