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.
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!”
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.
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.

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.
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).
Camera: Nikon DF
Lens: Nikkor AF-S 28-300mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 @ 300mm
Exif: ƒ/5.6 | ISO 250 @ 1/60th sec

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

[Note: This was a conversation I had months before COVID-19. I'm not connecting with anyone during this time].
Gerald's been out here a long time. He grew up in the Bronzeville neighborhood and Altgeld Gardens. His Grandma and Mom raised him. His hip is bad and he can't move around much, so that's limited him ability. He said he is good in the culinary arts, can make pretty much everything and can grill up fantastic meat. If he could have anything, he'd love to cook again. During the wintertime when it's cold, he just medicates his hip. He's been on this corner for quite awhile. To someone who's depressed he'd say, "Just reach out. Talk to a minister, talk to the Salvation Army. Connect with people." He's just trying to make ends meet. "It's a long day out here." Gerald sleeps on Lower Wacker.
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!"
I love the detail the awesome old N8 managed to pick out... you can see grains of sand on Lisa's skin?!
I caught up with my brother and fellow portrait photograopher DrMaccon this weekend and we had a wander and enjoyed some cocktails and good conversation.
Before the drinks, whilst walking through Nottingham, I spotted this guy with some wicked style walking past a blue stone wall and I leapt in front of him to ask for a portrait.
He was really great and happy to stop for a few shots so long as he could get rid of the shopping bags he was carrying.
Chris was out with a friend shopping although he has done a bit of modelling before and is keen to get into content creation
I was really grateful for his time and I put a few longer shots on my Instagram account that you can check out if you want.
I had some issues at first with the baseball cap but then asked him to look up to the direct sun above the buildings and it all came together.
This is image 88/100 in my (final) 4th set of images in my 100Strangers ongoing project.
