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.

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 doing [...]

I asked my typical, “How long have you been in New [...]

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 of [...]

I met with with the Baranov’s for the day starting at their house and eventually moving on to a nearby park.  Shane, the youngest of the two boys, warmed up to the camera immediately and loved having his picture taken.  Brendon on the other hand, started off scared of the camera and [...]

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.
