While taking pictures of my strangers, I did not want to have a series that was not necessarily cohesive with each other. I also did not want to take too much of their time by having them do outrageous or interesting poses. Instead, I took pictures of employees at the mall and had them pose with an object related to their work. The Cash for Gold girl is posing with her fake money. The Wetzel's Pretzels girl is posing with her tongs. And the Verizon Wireless salesman is posing with his phone.
I think these are successful because they are simplistic. Also, there was only one requirement to take pictures of strangers, allowing me to be as minimalistic or open as much as I'd like.
