A project to photograph a complete stranger for each day throughout 2009. Sometimes without their knowledge but mostly after asking permission.
Note the for. It quickly became apparent that if I rationed myself to one person each day, some days that special face was very hard to find, while on other days I had several faces that I found hard to choose between. So I amended my aims slightly and while I took photographs every day I sometime carried a picture taken on one day over to the next, rather than never show it and then use one less interesting.

Here is my favourite for July. On an evening stroll to the local shops I heard what I thought was a herd of small elephants behind me. Giggling elephants. I turned to find these three rogues following me. I can't explain the mix of ballet dress, riding breeches and fashion boots and I don’t know their names, but the faces closely resemble a couple of the young mothers in my street. Beautiful.
