I absolutely adore this.
Dear Stranger, by Shizuka Yokomizo
For this 1998-2000 series of portraits, photographer Shizuka Yokomizo left several anonymous letters on the doorsteps of random ground floor apartments that read:
“Dear Stranger, I am an artist working on a photographic project which involves people I do not know…. I would like to take a photograph of you standing in your front room from the street in the evening.”
The letter specified a certain ten-minute period during which the artist would approach, take the picture, and slip back into the darkness. She would only reveal her identity once her subjects received a print and contact information (so that they could let her know if they objected to their portrait being exhibited).
Yokomizo made sure that when the photos were taken, the light would be too dark outside to see her — it would only allow her subjects to see their own reflections in the window they were looking out of.

this is my ideal body type. study it, work for it, get in my pants.
When it comes down to our personal lives, our friends, or someone that we don’t know - we all strive to make a difference. Over the past few years, I’ve been thinking about how I was going to make a difference on a grander scale. I have finally decided that it’s time to make a move.
The news about LGBT suicides is becoming more and more common, and it is something that we shouldn’t have to worry about at all. Bullying, specifically that related to sexual orientation, is something that no one should have to go through, but, alas, they do. Tolerance for the bullies is becoming something of the past, and more and more people, businesses and lawmakers are speaking out on behalf of those voices who have been silenced. There are several organizations that are working to change the way people think, and they can only do what they set out to accomplish with people who are willing to stand up with them and fight for what they believe in.
I work for a company that has, for the entire time I have been there, never once (that I’ve seen or experienced) discriminated against anyone based on personal belief or any other “hot-button” issue. This company has a record for standing up for what we say we’re going to provide to the community and our guests that we serve around the world. Now, with any luck they will join the fight against LGBT suicides.
Arranging a meeting to sit down and discuss a project that, if green-lighted, has the possibility of saving even one life, or changing someones views on how they treat others is what it’s all about. We can’t make a difference if we aren’t willing to stand up for what we believe in and seek help from others who have the means to make it happen.
What is something you are passionate about? Have you taken any steps to get your voice heard? There is someone out there who needs you to make a stand. There is someone out there who might be too afraid to stand up for what they believe in, but you can help them speak up.
Save a life. Speak your mind. Make a difference.
