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 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 […]

Date: 9/13/2008 Location: Sunnyvale, California 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 […]

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 […]

I previously blogged about starting the Black and White Dollar Portraits (BW$P) project.  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 […]

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 […]

Thomas Hawk started a $2 portrait project not too long ago where his idea is to offer $2 to anyone who asks him for money in exchange for their portrait. I thought it was a great idea and since then, I’ve been actually hoping someone would ask me for money. Well, August 18th was my […]
