100 STRANGERS
#3. Bob, Dave, and Colin
#3. I was hanging out with some friends at the University Wisconsin's Memorial Union when I encountered these three guys. I had told my friends about this 100 stranger project (in fact some of them saw me photographing Dawn the night before). They liked the idea and encouraged me to go up to these guys. I was hesitant at first only because I didn't think I was ready for a group of strangers. However, after the portrait session I was glad I met them as they were very interesting guys.
Bob, Dave, and Colin are 3 playwrights. They were hanging out together after seeing some of Dave's work being read that night. The guys seemed to be getting into me taking portraits of them. They were even making jokes about where these pictures were going to end up online. Bob is the chair of Playwrights Ink - a Madison area writers group. Throughout my time with them Colin would repeatedly mention how Bob was famous to the city theater, even calling him a superstar at one time. Bob, all the while, modestly denied these claims.
Colin also wanted me to let everyone know that he was in a local movie called "Mad City Chickens." I think he played Geezer #3. Anyways, if your interested the DVD release is March 10. You can find out more about the film here.
This picture is #3 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at www.100Strangers.com

Great picture Paul! Love the project! And thanks for plugging my parking meter that night!
Those guys look interesting! They seem fun and full of life. What's Dave's story?
Dave was actually kind of quite. He didn't say much, and I guess I didn't press him for much. I guess you could say he was kind of a shy guy, or at least compared to the other two.
This is my favorite one so far. Very cool project, Paul.
