Anyone doing/done '100 Strangers' project?

Hi,
I think I'm going to try this, seems like a good way to 'step out of your comfort zone'. Just wondering if anyone here has done it? If so any thoughts etc?
(I remember someone here had some recent postings on their blog, and in this forum I think of people of Dublin, taken on the northside I think. I think they were taken without asking the people though. Great pictures though.)

Step out of your comfort zone to a new level of portrait photography: take 100 portraits of people you don't know.

The ideaThe One Hundred Strangers project is a learning group for people who want to improve the social and technical skills needed for taking portraits of strangers and telling their stories. The method is learning by doing.

The project is lots of fun and improves photojournalistic skills. During the process you might expand your every day living experience - and who knows, maybe you will even get a couple of new friends during the process.

We welcome both beginner and advanced photographers. You may be new to photographing strangers or already have experience of this type of photography.

Cheers,
Pa.

It's a great idea. I suggest this recently at the Athy camera club and I went out and got shots of 6 strangers. I was nervous about it but it definitely builds confidence.

Sounds like a great idea, I never got the chance to the one for athy photo club,

Might try talk my bro into doing this also to get him to start shooting more.
