One of the many homeless people in San Francisco, working the weekend tourist crowd for spare change. I'm super shy about photographing people, but I gave this guy a buck and told him that I was going to take some shots for a contest. He was totally cool about it and when I was done, he said "I know you didn't want me to look at the camera, so I made sure to act like you weren't there". That gave me a good laugh and I kicked him an extra few dollars. I hope people enjoy the shot. It was the most extensive editing that I've ever done.

Well if you have money to buy a BRAND hat, a BRAND sweatshirt, a t-shirt, a jacket, a sarpie marker, and beard bleaching kit, you don't need more money. (by the way i'm kidding)
