$2 Portraits

A street photography project founded in 2009 by Thomas Hawk in San Francisco. I joined the project in 2011 and it has forever changed my outlook on interaction with strangers on the street.

As I was getting ready to leave the office on Thursday afternoon, I looked out my window and there was Superman standing right near where we first met. I quickly printed off a copy of his picture and walked down to give it to him. Just as I stopped, a fellow walked by, dropped a dollar in Superman&#39;s cup and said, &quot;have a good evening Robert.&quot; When Superman saw my questioning eyes, he chuckled and admitted his name was Robert. I asked him how he came to be known as Superman and he pointed to a carving in the stone where he stood that said &quot;Superman&quot;, logo and all. We laughed about that together, I gave him $2, didn&#39;t take a picture and turned to walk on toward the train. He said to me, &quot;God bless, Picture Guy&quot;.<br><br>3/24/11 - Week 12<br>Another shot that isn&#39;t with the theme - but posted for continuity reasons.
