    My wife running on the Virginia Creeper Trail, where she will be competing in the OG Yeti 100 Mile Endurance Run tomorrow.

    I ask strangers if I can take photos of their dogs. They always let me. Not only is this pooch beautiful, she’s also smarter than the Republican candidate for president of the United States.

    A photo of the America that scares the insecure, from a Spring evening as I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. This is the melting pot. This is who we are. The fight for white supremacy is a losing battle. The sooner people realize that, the sooner we can make America greater for all its people.

    I found this old Oliver model tractor on River Road deep into Bladen County North Carolina.

    Big Hump Mountain in the Roan Highlands along the NC/TN border on the Appalachian Trail. I crossed it on a cold September morning with wind blowing so hard I could barely stand up. #photography.

    The 101st Stranger - I found a long-lost photo today from when I was working on my 100 Strangers project. This is Steve, a street guy whom I gave $2 and made him promise not to spend it on food.

    This Japanese Maple was only a couple of feet tall when my grandmother died. It was in her yard. My grandfather dug it up & gave it to me. Twenty-nine years later it greets me every time I walk out my front door. I love it.

    The Story Behind My 100 Strangers Project

    The Story Behind My 100 Strangers Project - Over 100 days I published a collection of street portraits taken in six different cities where I interviewed each subject. - louplummer.lol/100-stran… #Blaugust2024

    From my 100 Strangers Project - for the last time. John, watching his friend lose to a Budweiser drinking chess hustler on the Raleigh sidewalk was the final subject in my project. I’ll be posting a link to a gallery of all 100 portraits later on today. Thanks for all your feedback.

    Two men, sitting across from each other, are intensely playing chess outdoors. A third man is standing and watching them. The backdrop includes urban street elements and the Waverly F. Akins Wake County Office Building sign.

    From My 100 Strangers Project - Ricardo and his five-year old twins (yes, there are two of them in the photo) were downtown on a rainy winter afternoon looking for some hot chocolate at the local coffee shop. Sounded like a good idea to me, so I joined them.

    An adult in a hoodie guides two young children in coats, walking across a wet street with a parked car and city buildings in the background.

    From my 100 Strangers project - Mike said he was on the way back to his downtown office after a 30-mile ride out in the country.

    A cyclist with a beard smiles while wearing a helmet and sunglasses, situated outdoors near a street with cars in the background.

    From my 100 Strangers project - Elise was selling art, mostly pencil drawings and watercolors, at a street fair in Raleigh. She said businesses had been pretty good, but she was hot and tired and ready to go home.

    A woman sits on a foldable chair, resting her arms on her knees and looking intently forward; she is among tables covered with books, boxes, and bags in an outdoor market.

    From my 100 Strangers Project - Shayonna and her sisters were handing out flyers for a fundraiser to benefit a foundation that helps people in need in their community.

    Three children hold flyers, standing in front of a booth with the “TMF Youth Community Foundation” banner, with books and informational materials on display. Cars and people fill the background.eg

    From my 100 Strangers project - Harold wasn’t the friendliest guy I ever photographed, but he’d just gotten off work and was on the way to the subway, so I cut him slack. He did affirm that he “works on Wall Street,” something I suppose a lot of bankers aspire to,

    From my 100 Strangers project - Dike, a Nigerian immigrant earning a tough living as a pedicab driver in NYC was nonplussed by the police efforts to get him to move from his location near the entrance to the Central Park Zoo.

    A police officer and a woman observe a man giving a peace sign while sitting on a rickshaw in a tree-lined park area.

    From my 100 Strangers project - Mr. Ed had his very simple shoeshine stand (a folding chair) set up outside of a subway stop on lower Broadway. Larry, the tired businessman shown, said that he stops by for a tune up every few days.

    A man shines another man's shoes on a street corner. The seated man looks contemplative, resting his head on his hand, while the shiner focuses on polishing.
