A Stranger Approaches And..
Here’s some background on how the stranger approached us: From the spring of 2008 to July 2010, I worked on a contract basis in downtown Toronto for the Law Foundation of Ontario, while Terence was working at TD. Normally, we would get together for lunch on Fridays at a local park and indulge in our love of Filipino martial arts.
Today, Terence and I were finishing our session and about to leave when a stranger approached us. He was carrying a camera and a camera bag. He asked us what we were doing during our workout. We explained to him that we were practicing a Filipino Martial Art called Modern Arnis. He told us he had a photography project called “100 Strangers.” Click on the picture below and pick up the rest of the story:

The stranger was a man named PJ Mixer. He seems to be quite passionate about photography, which reminds me of my passion for Modern Arnis and Filipino martial arts. Terence and I talked with him for a few minutes before we had to head back to work. I wish we had more time, but our professional obligations were calling us!
This was a very nice encounter!
