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.

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 […]

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 […]
