Strangers Nos. 98 and 99
Not every “stranger” photo turns out the way you want. I thought I was being clever by rewinding this half-used roll of film so that I could enclose it in a lead lined bag to protect it from the airport x-rays, and then just advance it again to where I had left off, but apparently I outsmarted myself. I sometimes see where other people have created some cool effect by doubly-exposing the same frame and having overlapping photos, but I’ve rarely had that happen. This (from the same roll) is as close as I could get. Apologies to Sebastiaan (from Belgium) and Zara (from England), who were co-passengers on an early morning boat ride on the Ganges, in Varanasi, India. The photos don’t always turn out right, but I still claim credit for having asked two strangers if they’d mind being photographed. Next time, take a backup with a digital!
