$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.

I met Andre on Davis Street in Evanston as he asked folks for some help with train fare. His destination was downtown Kenosha where there is a spot in a shelter lined up but he needs to get there before it is given away. Andre was born in Zion, IL and is 47 years old. He has family in the Chicago area and Wisconsin who are all struggling. Before the pandemic, Andre was a laborer, unloading trucks for a liquor distributor, but there is no work for him now. Andre was not the talkative sort so I gave him $2 and wished him well in getting to Kenosha. He thanked me and turned his attention to others on the street.<br><br>Sony A7C @ f9.5 1/250 35mm ISO 160<br>Samyang AF 35mm F1.8<br><br>Photographed 7/7/21
