Photographs of Strangers

Jeff Bell of Planet Bell blog recently blogged about taking photos of strangers, as well as “street photographs”. I find it sometimes uncomfortable taking photos of people. This is why most of my photos are of animals and nature. But I did manage to take some in my travels and I have no doubt I will take some more on my medical mission trip at the beginning of the year.

Here are some of the ones that I have taken. hope you enjoy. From Africa 2013, Peru 2014, Japan 2015.
