Jesse
You can read more about my $2 Portrait Project here.
Whew! I went out shooting the Haight with Erik Wilson (Generik11) this afternoon in the Haight and ended up talking ten $2 portraits. I'm going to try and get five posted up tonight and the other five posted up tomorrow.
This first portrait is of Jesse. We met Jesse on Market Street just past Van Ness. Jesse and another guy Mike saw that we were photographing yet another guy Kevon and wanted to get in on the action themselves.
Jesse originally hails from Portland, Oregon. He said he's been on the streets since he was 13. We talked a bit about all the neon signs in Portland. We talked about the motels and the big welcome to Oregon sign. Those are Drugstore Cowboy motels Jesse said. We both agreed that was a great movie. Don't throw a hat on a bed I reminded him. That's right he said back.
Jesse said that he'd been all over the United States, mostly by riding the rails on railroad cars. That's how he got down from Portland to San Francisco he said. Jesse asked me if I had a card or if he could see his portrait online, I gave him my card and Erik gave him one of his as well.
We didn't get to talk to Jesse as much as I'd like to have, but that's because we were shooting three guys at once and getting each of their stories as we shot them.
