$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.

It was the sound of a guitar and a melodic chant that caught my attention on Powell Street. I approached and she kept chanting. She reminded me of Roma in Italy. Showing her my camera, she nodded and I proceeded to take a few photos. When she stopped, I tried to converse but she could not understand me, nor I her. I deposited $2 in her guitar case and she smiled in thanks.<br><br>Taken 2/13/14
