Envelope Opt-Out

I've heard of people opting out of receiving paper bills (since so many pay their bills online now), but I kind of like the paper bill. But why don't businesses offer the option of opting out of receiving the envelopes that come with bills?

Making that possible would save them a fortune, and would save trees, too. I don't particularly care about saving trees, because from what I can tell, there are plenty, but everyone seems to value saving trees, so I'm jumping on that bandwagon.

Let's make that envelope opt-out thing happen. Thanks.

Hey, Brandon!

Mind if I put your portrait on my blog? Thanks!

It's Jose

Jose is the latest participant in the $2 Portrait Project.



One of my favorite portraits of the homeless yet.

A Little Side Project

Sometimes, it's as much about quantity as quality. I was asked to shoot 22 portraits, with about one minute devoted to each.



I was pretty happy with the results.

Colleen

Say "hello" to Colleen. She's homeless. I met her on Fremont Street. Colleen is originally from Arkansas, and has a 13-year-old daughter who lives back east with her sister. Apparently, Colleen got involved with drugs, and has fallen on hard times. Colleen is a huge fan of Faye Dunaway. Colleen also loves to smoke cigars. Thanks for being a part of the $2 Portrait Project.

Kids

Someone's kid.



Your kid.
