@TheFigen_ Hello @TheFigen_ - thanks for sharing. It makes me happy when people appreciate my work. I know you have shared my videos before. All I ask is to be credited. Though I know I have a watermark on the video, it’s because my videos are stolen and reused so often without credit.

He was a complete stranger, walking through Trinity College in Dublin, when I stopped him to say hello.

He was a man living a life of quiet desperation.

What he told me shocked me.

This stranger who I discovered walking alone in St. Stephen’s Green in Dublin has had cancer THREE times.

He has refused chemotherapy and radiation.

Here he describes his secret to survival.

Along came Polly!

People always ask me, as a photographer: “Where is the friendliest place you’ve been?”

I never have a good answer because even in a busy and crowded city like London, beautiful people like this exist:

Paralysed since the age of thirteen in a freak accident, this stranger I discovered sitting under a tree in Kensington Gardens told me his story…

[Christopher Ward @modelstrangers]

I’m not always confident when I approach strangers, especially if they’re from an entirely different culture to my own. But when I spotted Amaal - a vision walking through a park in London - I was filled with so much inspiration, and I had to say hello.
