Cesar
You can read more about my $2 Portrait Project here.
While shooting in Detroit last month I ran into Cesar while down shooting at night in Greektown. Cesar asked me for money and I told him about my $2 portrait project and he agreed to pose.
Cesar was born and raised in Detroit and has one child still there. Cesar told me to pardon the fact that he had his beard going on. He told me that he'd just gotten back from several days of fishing out at the lake over the long weekend.
Cesar wanted to tell me all about Detroit. He showed me a plaque on the wall of the 2nd Baptist Church showing that it had once served as a station in the underground railroad telling me that they used to hide slaves there before they made their way across the river to Canada. He was full of information about Detroit and seemed to like the city a lot. He took me on about a 2 block tour of Greektown and had something to say the entire way.
After I paid Cesar he told me that he had to give me a hug. Don't worry, Cesar said, the hugs are free. With that he gave me a hug and we both went our way.
