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.

Good morning sunshine! Dawn over Bogue Sound in North Carolina

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
