Harry
In an earlier post, I talked about a $2 portrait project on Flickr, run by Thomas Hawk. The above photo, “Harry,” is one of Mr. Hawk’s own pieces in that group, and probably my favorite.
See this photo on Flickr. After reading the story, you’ll feel like you’ve met Harry yourself.

Steve
“Steve” was grabbed last year as part of a $2 portrait project undertaken by Troy Holden and a friend of his in San Francisco. The project’s premise is simple enough: Troy walks around the city and offers $2 to any panhandlers who ask for money, but only if they’ll allow him to take their picture. Steve, shown above, is a homeless man they came across in SoMa, who was more than willing to be part of the project.
This particular $2 portrait project can be viewed on Flickr, and is run by Thomas Hawk — I’ll post some his work later.

Portraits of Strangers
A sampling of Portraits of Strangers, a project by Nick Turpin on Behance.
“I like the message behind the idea of plucking someone from the crowded street and photographing them in a way that elevates them, makes them an icon, a hero, a celebrity for a few moments……everyone is important.”
I love this idea, go see the full set!

Eyes
This is probably my favorite picture to date. Took this one during the Short-Hair Shoot, but since it has nothing to do with hair, I figured it deserves its own post.
The Short-Hair Shoot
After months of talking about it, she finally found the ovaries to go and get her hair cut off. New hair means new head shots, and these were my favorites from the group.
Maybe Soup is currently being updated? I'll try again automatically in a few seconds...
