One Is Silver and the Other's Gold

Richard Renaldi

There's another photography project on the streets of the Big Apple. First, there was HONY (Humans of New York: http://somanyinterestingthings.blogspot.com/2013/04/zoo-york-and-boston-too.html, http://somanyinterestingthings.blogspot.com/2014/08/more-humans.html), and now, for something a little different, we have Touching Strangers. Photographer Richard Renaldi poses people who've never met as if they've known each other all their lives. As one might expect, some of these strangers embrace the opportunity, quite literally, while others just can't seem to get past their awkwardness ~ and of course, the camera captures it all (video): http://www.truth-code.com/2016/05/two-strangers-were-asked-to-pose-in.html
