The rules that GeeBee refers to are these from GeeBee's site http://www.geebeephoto.com/html/strangers.html : This project is an attempt to get thirty six photographs of total strangers. Rules: 1. They must be complete strangers (obviously). 2. I have to get their permission (no tele photo sniping). 3. No parties parades etc. Must be in the street. 4. Must fill the frame. 5. Get their name. "Kyle Cassidy set this project because, with that uncanny radar that he has, he detects particularly fine examples of Leicaslackers. I am trying really hard to do this but it is out of character for me to approach total strangers and ask if I may take their photograph." I think he's doing a nice job of this project. He's got more nerve than I do.
