I Talk to Strangers: Day One Wally O.

 I am going to use my 30 day challenge to revisit a previous 30 day challenge from 2010. This time I have learned from my mistakes and am getting model releases each day and plan to eventually publish a book titled "I Talk to Strangers". I have found this to be a very difficult challenge so on those inevitable days when no one will allow me to photograph them, I will just use one of the list items instead.



 For my first day I photographed Wally O. from Sparks Nevada. I have known Wally for quite a while but did meet him as a total stranger the first time I lived in Nevada. Wally was born in Pennsylvania in 1937 and has an incredible sense of humor. He is currently struggling with dementia but still helps a lot of people with his stories from the past. He was homeless in his younger years and shares his life experiences with anyone who needs help.
