Oh, I do love a good Polaroid, and this project, titled Present Company, is full of them! In order to have a genuine interaction with someone she might otherwise never know, Washington DC based photographer Amber Byrne Mahoney walks up to complete strangers, asks to take their photo, and then has them answer one of two questions… “if you could ask a perfect stranger anything in the world, what would it be?” or “what is one thing you’d like people to know about you?” Their images, and answers, are below:

Love! Now, for a little behind the scenes… the reason Amber started this project was because of a chance encounter with a man, named Tyrone, shown in the final photo. It’s a lovely story filled with good will, guitars, and a whole bunch of warm fuzzies! You have to go and read this story!

And on that note, I’ll wish you all a happy weekend… see you on Monday!
