Non-epic

This is stranger number 1 of a 100 of m y 100 strangers project. Yes, there are 3 people in this photo i know.. but for all intents and purposes they are one stranger.

I first met Loraine, the woman on the right outside of a local brewery. I learned that she was here in the states for a night after a flight from london, to then head back to london the next day fulfilling her obligations as an airline stewardess. Upon learning that she was from britland, i proceeded to try to impress her with my take on the english way of speaking… which consisted of interjecting everything with “oi” and saying something about “pints” and “football” because i’m an idiot.

After parting ways, i realized that she should be my first subject for the 100 strangers project so i hunted her down and met the other two that are in this photograph.

The man on the left wanted to be referred to in this project as “Riseldra”. Riseldra also worked with Loraine, and had the task of making sure the checked in baggage on the plane was evenly balanced so the aircraft would not tip over in mid-air resulting in doom. A noble task indeed.

The man in the middle with the Superman shirt on wanted to be referred to in this project as “dookie”. He also worked with “Riseldra” and Loraine. I didn’t quite get what it was that he did at the job. I spent some time trying to explain to him that i wasn’t “taking the piss” on being impressed at Riseldra’s occupation but i’m sure he was just fucking with me. I gathered he was the Captain of the plane.

So to Loraine, Dookie, and Riseldra – thank you for being the first in my 100 Strangers art project, you are all exceptional human beings. Godspeed, and happy travels.
