This is a fabulous idea.....wikipedians going around asking normal
users, and taking their pic with a note. I love it....
I think some wikinews people might like this too :)

Hi :-)
I would go for the pictures with a paper, carton etc. with something
written/designed on it - also a self-designed t-shirt would be great ...
you can see it better in medium/low resolution than a computer screen
with a wiki-article and you can take these photos a bit anywhere (have
some naughty thoughts about that ;-) and on how to get things around ...
I for myself would take two or three afternoons and go around on the
coast and ask people if they know the wikimedia projects and if they
love them ... and then ask them to write something on a piece of paper,
taking a photo. In this way we make sure we get contacts and groups ...
and also potential donors since they will "hear" from a living person
that Wikimedia needs funds - that is different then just seeing it on
the computer screen. That means: if anybody who "loves Wikimedia
projects" helps also in such a way we reach out to many people we
normally would not reach.
