I met Paula and Dan in downtown Tampa. They are mother and son. Both live in the area. I asked Paula if she worked nearby. She said yes, in an office, and swept her arm over an area that must have 2,000 offices. I took that to mean that she was not interested in specifying which one.

Dan worked in Ybor City, a Cuban neighborhood about two miles away. He said that I should try to photograph strangers there. “It's a very eclectic society, one guy even tries to lick your shoes.”

Lick shoes?

So I Googled this HERE.

Sure enough, there are many links to the “Ybor City Shoe Licker. You learn so much good stuff in the 100 Strangers project.
