Well, guess what? That's exactly what photographer Richard Renaldi does. He wanders the streets and coerces strangers to touch one-another. And they do so. Sometimes sweetly. Sometimes awkwardly as all hell.
While I've never met Mr. Renaldi, Co-Blogger Kristin and I have his number. What's more interesting than two strangers touching? How about a stranger touching ten other strangers! The photo below is of me with a passing gang of complete strangers. Kristin and I were waiting outside of Grand Lux cafe, dreaming of flatbread chicken sandwiches, when the strangers moseyed by.
"Hey!" Kristin screamed. "Wanna be in a picture!?"
The kids cheered and assembled around me in 40 seconds as if they spend all day randomly surrounding strangers for photo ops. They flung signs and cheered and the photo was snapped. After all was said and done, they skipped away - off to no good I'm sure. Kristin and I spent the night admiring the photo... it looked as if they were actually my friends.
