Meet Pete. As I walked home from the Papyrus Store, I came across Pete sitting in a wheelchair asking very quietly for change.  He asked so quietly, I wasn’t even sure he was asking for change and had to ask him what he said.  He repeated, “Got any change?”  I told him about my project […]

Meet Nickey. As I was walking back to my office from running a few errands, I met Nickey sitting outside of Walgreens asking for change. As soon as I approached him, even before I said a word, he was saying, “Thank you.” Nickey was extremely enthusiastic and full of spirit as a talked with him. […]

I had a busy weekend last weekend and this weekend isn’t letting up either. On top of checking out the Rockit Room this past weekend, I made my way down to Ben Lomand for a special 1st birthday.  Marlon is the only kid I know who has had a blog since the day he was […]

For awhile, I’ve had user registration enabled for this blog.  I don’t exactly remember my reasoning behind it, but I’ve decided to disable it going forward.  All of the registered accounts looked to have been fake/spam accounts, so I have deleted them all as well.  If you by chance had a legitimate account and want […]

I’ve been planning to rent gear from one of the several online retailers in the coming months for a few gigs I have lined up.  During my research, BorrowLenses.com has consistently come up with positive reviews and competitive prices.  Since I have not actually used their services yet, I can not give you a review […]

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to head over to the RockIt Room for some live music.  While there, I took a few pictures of BASECAMP, a new group in the Bay Area lead by Christopher Ward.  I had a great time and hope to be in touch with BASECAMP in the future as […]

Description:  I don’t really have much to share about this photo.  I took this one while out on a sponsored photowalk last month.  I took several pictures of the pier that evening.  Eventually, as we headed back, Thomas Hawk (on the right) and a friend were walking and talking together and this picture fell into […]

Do you geotag your photos?  How accurate are you with your geotagging?  Do you think it is important to have accurate geotagging?  How often do you take your camera out for a photowalk only to find out later you have no idea where you took the picture? If you answered yes, somewhat, yes, all the […]

Meet Carol. I met Carol while in New York on my way to Katz’s Deli.  As I walked down E. Houston St. with my friends toward the deli, Carol was enthusiastically asking people for change.  When I approached her and explained my project, she happily agreed. I asked my typical, “How long have you been […]

Meet Meridith (not 100% sure on his name). During my recent visit to New York, I met Meridith as I exited the Astor Place subway station on my way to Washington Square Park.  After Meridith asked me for change, I explained to him about my project.  He quickly commented, “Well, won’t you just have pictures […]

Week: 8/52 Neighborhood: Financial District Image Title: Down the Street Once again, I’m a bit late with this post.  Last week I met up with Julie (also known as tangobaby on Flickr) for a lunch photowalk.  She lead the way through the streets to see the remaining walrus statues and up to the top floor […]
