Part of The Dying Breed project.

It has been awhile since I’ve taken at portrait for this project due to two things: 1) I have been slacking on having my camera with me all the time (not something I like to admit) and 2) I keep finding myself without small bills available. Well, over the past several weeks, I have seen […]

Description:  I processed another capture of Deon using the same post-processing technique as Free I Roam.  I am very pleased with the end results and have officially started my 2010 Favorites Set on Flickr.  I hope you enjoy watching this set grow as the year goes on. Since Deon confessed he was trying to quit […]

Meet Brady. As I headed from work to the Metreon to catch AVATAR, Brady was sitting on the sidewalk along 4th Ave. kindly asking for change.  I approached him and explained my BW$P project.  Brady agreed without hesitation and not once asked for more.  I asked him what his name was and how he was […]

Description:  After fiddling with the post processing of Bent for a little bit, I settled on this alternate crop and processing.  Personally, I think I like this outtake more than the original black and white outtake, but, at this time, the BW$P project is specifically for black and white portraits. Location: San Francisco, CaliforniaDate Taken: […]

Meet Deon. During the lunch rush hour, as I crossed the street heading back to my office, I ran into Deon.  I told him about my BW$P project and he responded, “What, you want to draw my picture or something?”  I explained I would take a photograph of him and apologized and he agreed.  As […]

Meet Bent. I was heading back to the parking lot with a friend from the downtown area when I bumped into Bent asking for money to help him out.  I stopped and explained my BW&P Project to him and he quickly agreed.  As I took out my camera, he tried haggling for $2.  I kindly […]

Meet Dorothy. As I headed to the bus stop from work today, I bumped into Dorothy on the corner of Pine and Montgomery asking for change.  I approached her and explained my BW$P Project.  She didn’t agree right away, but rather stated, “I’ve been sitting on this corner since 6am this morning and all I’ve […]

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. […]

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 […]

Description: I took this picture mid last year, but stumbled upon it in my Flickr stream today and thought I would share it. This photograph was taken while waiting in line at the Legion of Honor to see the Annie Leibovitz – A Photographer’s Life exhibit.  I can not remember exactly what the photographer in […]
