Meridith – BW$P
Meet Meridith (not 100% sure on his name). During my recent visit to New York, I met Meridith as I exited the Astor Place subway station on my way to Washington Square Park. After Meridith asked me for change, I explained to him about my project. He quickly commented, “Well, won’t you just have pictures […]
Seth – BW$P
Meet Seth. On my way home, Seth was sitting on the sidewalk asking for change from anyone who walked by. Still 2-3 paces away from Seth, he half heartedly asked, “Spare any change?” I slowed down and offered him $1 for his portrait. Without changing his facial expression, he quickly agreed. After taking Seth’s picture […]
Danny – BW$P
Meet Danny. While out shooting in North Beach for My Surrounding Neighborhoods project, I came across a very kind man playing the harmonica (didn’t catch his name) asking for change at the corner of Columbus and Green. As I walked by, we made eye contact and he stopped playing in order to chat with me. […]
Another David – BW$P
Meet David. I met up with Rick to kick off my 52 Week Project for 2009: My Surrounding Neighborhoods in North Beach. While Rick and I were getting acquainted, David approached us asking for change. I explained to him about my dollar portrait project and he was happy to pose, with the a dollar in […]
Ron – BW$P
Meet Ron. After lunch, I was in a bit of a rush to get back to the office for a meeting, but I came across Ron asking for change in front of Taco Bell at the corner of California and Drumm. I explained my project to him and he asked if I would give him […]
Mary – BW$P
I recently started the Black and White Dollar Portrait (BW$P) Project. The gist is, I will offer anyone who asks me for money $1 in exchange for their portrait. Every portrait I take will be converted and processed in black and white. This project is a spin off of Thomas Hawk’s $2 Portrait Project. Meet […]

Dave (aka David) – BW$P

The idea is, anytime anyone ask me for money, I will offer them $1 in exchange for their portrait which I will process in black and white. Meet Dave (aka David). When I told Dave about the project, he was happy to […]
Black and White Dollar Portraits (BW$P)
Thomas Hawk has been doing his $2 Portrait Project and when I first read about it, I thought it was a great idea. I’ve been trying to think of a way to alter his project in my own unique way. I know $2 is not a lot of money, but while walking down Haight Street […]
