Description:  During my last processing session, I revisited my walk over the Brooklyn Bridge from my recent trip to New York.  This one is one of my favorites of the bunch.  When I saw this image screaming at me, I could not believe I had never seen a photograph of it before.  I’m not sure […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Week: 5/52 Neighborhood: Financial District Image Title: The Twilight Zone I was planning on writing up a seperate post about the photowalk I went on at the beginning of the week, but my extra time these days has been extremely limited.  The photowalk was a great time and I met a few new San Francisco […]

Description: I’m not sure what it is about these buildings together, but every time I walk by this corner, I want to take a picture. Every time, without fail. Matter of fact, the first picture I shared on this blog was Tall & Proud and I have a feeling, this might not be the last. […]

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.  […]

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 […]

Description: Last summer I traveled to Bolivia and Peru and instead of taking the over beaten journey to Machu Picchu via the Inca Trail, I decided to take the alternate route, The Lars Trek.  This was a 3 day journey through the back mountains of Peru, topping at 4200 meters (13,779 feet) in altitude. This […]
