This is appearing late because it never turned up in the feed in the first place (my bad).

100 Strangers #2

This is Raya (thank you to her friend Meowy12 for setting my spelling straight). Zie was attending the Anti Prop8 demonstration outside City Hall in Boston today, which I happend to stumble across whilst making my way back to the T. Even in the midst of many colourful characters Raya's hair and magnificent cape stood out and had to be photographed.

The cape was stitched by a friend, who arrived as I was departing, her first words being "I recognise that cape!"

This picture is the second in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at www.100Strangers.com

100 Strangers, Photo #1. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at www.100Strangers.com

I wasn't planning to start on the 100 strangers project this week, even though being in London probably offers the best opportunity. This is Paul. He struck up a conversation with me as I was watching a fantastic guitarist outside Embankment tube station and trying to pluck up the courage to ask if I could take his photo (I did ask; he didn't want his photo taken, so I didn't).

Paul started talking to me about photography, work, London, Kent and the iridescent orange and carrot juice that he was holding in this shot. Nice bloke.

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
