$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.

4/12/11 - Week 15<br>Walking back to my hotel from dinner, I met Ron outside of a McDonalds on Market Street. I told him about the $2 Portraits project and he agreed to let me take his picture. I took a few shots, none of which were entirely in focus. <br><br>Ron is 55 years old and was born and raised in Oakland. He was hoping to get enough money to get something to eat and BART fare back to Oakland where his family lives. He said something about wanting to get things straightened out with his brother-in-law.<br><br>I didn&#39;t want to hang around long to fiddle with the camera for a better shot so I gave Ron $2 and wished him luck. He said thank you and walked toward the BART station.
