Description whilst looking at what i've been submitting ... i see people.

people of priviledge -- albeit talented -- but of priviledge nonetheless.

they are pretty.

they are interesting.

but ... whilst walking from a parking garage to an assignment at the santa barbara international film festival ...

this guy caught my eye.

i stood there drinking my water.

and he says, "you wanna photograph jesus?"

"i already have."

he looks at me quizzically ...

"what do you mean?"

"i try to see what jesus meant and is and was ... in everyone i meet, bro."

i gave them $5.00.

i pick and choose the people on the street whom i give money.

there was something that was tangible about this group of guys.

yeah, they'll spend it on something other than getting their lives together.

whatever.

not really my problem.

but ... they're human.

just like george.

miss hayak.

you.

me.

and ... you can make beautiful photographs ...

it doesn't matter of whom.

just ... the human condition.

whether it's backstage at some crazy super-exclusive event...

of your family ...

of someone on the street ...

because ...

they're all family.

and i like my family to look good.

that's absolutely beautiful, i love the fact that....
he actualyl goes out with that sign, it's classic, it's outragious, that's why i love it.......
and your comment i agree with 100%
he is in everyone we meet, and they have to makes that choice themselves, toget off tje street, no money is gonna make them, so you might as well give it to them, so they don't steal anything!
it's great, i love it..

wow... supreme, perfect moment and perfect shot...

It's so good I thought it was planned... so great that a creative guy (in his own way he's creatively trying to get what he wants) meets a creative artist who did an excellent work with that moment

I love this shot, and especially the story. Not to many people grasp that photography isn't just about the rich and famous... it's about the human soul, the spirit that emanates from people.

I am very impressed with your work, I hope you don't mind, but I'm gonna devwatch ya

There is something in this that I can't put my finger on. I don't know if I can put it to words.
I love this image, but I can't really express why.
I think you caught something here that is trully amazing and really gets at the heart.

Well done.
