Towards the end of the Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk in Chicago, I heard him at the corner of Madison &amp; Canal chanting a loud mantra, “Can you spare some change?” As I observed for a few minutes, everyone passed him by. So I approached him and asked if he’d heard of $2 Portraits. He hadn’t and agreed to tell me his story and let me take his picture. I snapped a few shots and he began to tell me his brief story.<br><br>Jeff was born and raised in Chicago and has lived on the west side for all of his 47 years. He worked in a warehouse for 23 years and became disabled so hits the streets to supplement his disability income. He is not married but has 3 kids who live in Chicago who he sees fairly often. He is currently living with his girlfriend. A couple more minutes of small talk and I thanked Jeff for speaking with me and gave him $2. He thanked me and as I rose to catch up with the photo walk group, his mantra began again…”can you spare some change?”<br><br>Taken 10/11/14
