Two kids on a street in Palma. After taking the photo I ended up on the young boys scooter while he took photos of me!!
What a fascinating look on the girls face as she spots me!
Jeff, Ash, and Les were sitting on the northwest side of the Michigan Avenue Bridge. Les, the dog was laying down between them. "It's been a slow day at the office", Jeff said, smiling. They travel around the country on freight trains. Their latest trip was from San Antonio to Chicago. They're from Maine, which is what their ultimate destination was. But not Portland, "I don't like it there", he said. They were friendly and had no problem chatting. The wierdest thing that ever happened to them was when they were riding a freight train that passed into Canada. Then they had to tell the authorities what happened...Ash didn't really say too much, but she was friendly and smiled. Speaking of which, when I asked them what advice they have to give, Ash said, "try not to frown, you never know who might be falling in love with your smile..." Jeff said, "I don't know...(just) stay safe."
I don't know anything about baseball so .....We have a line of baseball caps in the hall. I have been scrutinising the lIne all week looking for a photograph. Then Ammber, my great niece, spotted and took this in seconds. I cropped it a bit afterwards.
[Note: This was a conversation I had months before COVID-19. I'm not connecting with anyone during this time].
You can hear Mac from a block away—“Please help! Can anyone help! He does this non-stop on the corner of Washington and Clark. I stopped to say “hi”, and he was more than happy to talk. “Everybody has a story”, he said. He’s been out here about three hours today and about seven years total. “Tough times”, he lamented. His goal and dream is to find a job. “I can do a lot of things—I’m adaptable”, he said. He said a gentleman talked to him a few days ago willing to help him find a job. He said, “I hope he comes through...”. As far as making money on the street, “The City of Chicago wants us to sit with signs...but if you aren’t allowed to ask, no one will give you money! He said he’s been arrested numerous times for “panhandling”, but it didn’t seem to bother him. His advice for someone who’s down or depressed is to “Trust in God—look to God...’cause if the Lord Almighty can’t help you, ain’t no one who can help you!” As we said our goodbyes, he said, “Mr. Steve—I’ll be right here!”
Al was sitting on the east side of Michigan a little south Randolph. He's been out here about a year. He used to work for UIC, but when he was laid off, he lost his apartment and became homeless. He usually sleeps on the train and stays away from Lower Wacker. "Man it's bad down there--a lot of drugs...and the police don't go down there." He said that while he's been panhandling during Lollapalooza, people have been asking him if he has any drugs to sell. "I'm 65 years old--do you think I have any drugs to sell?!" Then he started talking about how he feels when people don't look at him or talk to him. "Sometimes I feel like hurting myself...I tried once, but they pumped it out (of my stomach) before it took effect." He has children who want to see him, but he's ashamed because he's homeless. "But I want to see them", he said. Considering his situation and where he is, he asked "Why is God punishing me? I've been a good person..." I assured him that he's not being punished, he's just going through a tough time right now...Al, you will make it.
Cornell was sitting at the corner of Randolph and Canal Street. Somehow I never remember him being there, but he said it's his regular spot. He was friendly from the start, talking about the Cubs, the Bears, and the latest sports news. He said he's been out here for about a year. His biggest need is housing. It costs $20-30 per night to stay somewhere safe where you can clean up and get a shower. As far as what he wants people to know, he said "I'm a person like anyone else". Truth.
I had the pleasure of working with Maria Ramos, here is the first image from our shoot......this is one of the not so serious ones haha, we setup two different lighting styles....this was the first set up.
In hip hop culture, they tend to over stylise everything to the point they become characters, and this is kind of what we were getting at
Timothy was on the southwest corner of Randolph and State Street. He's been homeless off and on his whole life. The past four months he's been out here. When I asked him what his biggest need is he said, "doing laundry". It's hard to get that done. He had a large backpack and a duffel bag, with all his belongings. He sleeps outside and now that it's getting colder, he needs blankets. In the past to make money he would buy a bunch of items wholesale and resell them to make a profit. He hasn't been able to do that now that he's homeless.
Every day this gentleman pushes his frozen treat cart in the hot sun up and down the 2 km of Playa la Ropa in Zihuatanejo, Guerrero, Mexico. He also honks he horn which is a BIG pain! Get over it, you are on vacation.
Randy was walking by Covenant House at 30 E. Chicago Avenue. We struck up a conversation and he told me that he's been homeless for 20 years. I told him he looked much younger than that and he said "I take care of myself". I asked him where he stayed and he pointed at a building. "It's a hell hole", he said, "There are roaches". He was very friendly and we talked for quite a while. "I have a HUGE keychain collection", he smiled. "If I hung it up on this sign, it would reach all the way down!" He keeps it in his room. It's comprised of all the things he's collected during his time on the street. "There's key chains, belt buckles, rings--it wouldn't even fit in that (large Ikea bag)." What he needs most (other than housing) is a bike. "I've got a bad back and can only walk a few blocks". He's trying to get on disability. "They're trying", he said sarcastically. He does work with a counselor in Covenant House, which is a good thing.
Tina was on the southeast corner of Jackson and Dearborn, outside of Dunkin Donuts. She's been homeless for eight years. She needs a place to stay, "but there are more shelters for men than women. It's hard being out here, especially as a woman." She sleeps on the train when she doesn't have anywhere else to go. She was quiet and a woman of few words, but I'm thankful she was willing to chat, even for a moment.

My 1st selfie, probably the last. Never thought I'd do it but made a exception to photograph this for the groups Weekly theme "Hats".
My son was 2 here. We were down the shore about to eat pizza. I don't remember why he was giving me that look, but I thought it was a great shot! Was probably mad that mommy was taking pics of him! The first few yrs, I took pics of just about everything!

Just your average Cuban suitcase repair man working in the fresh air and a sea of red. Sometimes, I love this 28-300mm lens - 1/60th of a second at 300mm, the stabilisation has done a stirling job (though tomorrow I'll hate it again and be thinking about selling it, it's just one of those lenses).

BJ was sitting on the northwest corner of Dearborn and Randolph. When I asked how long he'd been out here, he said "a long time". He said he was doing pretty good, and half-jokingly said, "but I'm still going through hell". He served in the Army years ago. He pointed to his overalls. "I got this from some firefighters. They said 'a veteran needs to be warm out here'. They also gave me some handwarmers and these gloves. He had a powerful voice and was friendly. "I'm gonna get me a cup of coffee", he said. I wish I could've joined him, because he's the kind of guy you want to hang out withWe didn't talk as long as I wanted to, but I'm sure we'll meet again.

I have worked with Chelsea on many occasions - we did this fun roller skating shoot in her garden and a road near her house.

Sriracha sauce..................Loved the socks when I saw them and thought they would be great to make another forced perspective image for Week 10 Dogwood Challenge.
This is 45 going onto 46 in 2023. I get some wonderful window light in the house and only subject I had was myself. This year I’m working on my health and hope to document with my photography
Frank Shawn John Doyle had just arrived at his spot, when we started talking. It was raining, but it didn't phase him. I asked him his name and he said, "Frank Shawn John Doyle", which caught my attention. "I was adopted, but I go by my birth name too because my mom didn't abort me." He has cancer and is going to the hospital to be treated in a few days. "The doctors say I shouldn't be here (due to how advanced his condition is.)...there's a reason I'm here." He's been out here for five years and usually stays in a cheap men's hotel. He was very chatty and friendly. I gave him a couple coats and he said, "I'm gonna pass on the blessing" (and give someone the other coat)". When I asked if I could take his picture he joked, "Sure...hey, it's your camera--if I break it, it's not my fault!"
Kevo was on the west side of Macy's, in between Washington and Randolph. He was surrounded by artwork and hundreds of colored pencils. He's been on the street for ten years. He's been to Denver, Baltimore, Chicago, and numerous other cities. His favorite mode of transportation is hitching rides with truck drivers, via Facebook. In this Facebook group you can post where you'd like to travel and if anyone is going that way and wants to help, you can grab a ride. He's quite a talented artist. His main focus is illustration, but "I can do any genre", he said. He's built computers, done construction, and a few other jobs, but his passion is art. "I want to find a job where I can be an artist", he said. Other jobs he's had he's been frustrated with, but art is the one thing that lights him up inside. "I sleep behind Macy's", he said pointing behind him. His biggest need? "I need a backpack", as he lifted a blanket revealing a tattered backpack. As I left, he grabbed a pencil and began working on his next piece...
