“All men contain several men inside them, and most of us bounce from one self to another without ever knowing who we are.” Paul Auster (The Brooklyn Follies).

Okay, I could quote Paul Auster permanently, but I think it’s the first time in one and a half year.
Maybe because these strangers’ portraits are nothing more than strangers’ portraits from my place, people like any other people we can see in any street.
Maybe also because I often make up a complete life to perfect strangers crossed in the street, in the restaurant or the cinema. When I’m in brilliant form, my friends listen to me as an opened book telling for more than one hour the “life” of a neighbor of table.
Try, it’s easy: imagine the story of strangers, these one or your neighbor in the subway. If you want to, tell me, I’ll bring you more portraits and tell their “life”.
