For those of you who have followed my $2 Portraits project, this young woman may look familiar. The story began in March 2010 in San Francisco and another chapter was written today.
As remote a possiblility as one could imagine, last month my son and his girlfriend moved to Indiana and coincidentally are living less than 3 miles from this young woman and her family. Of all the places in the US that they could have landed...and to land so close to her, will never cease to amaze me. So today, while visiting my son and his girlfriend, we met as families for the first time.
It was great to see her doing well, a far cry from the streets of San Francisco where we first met.
Now for the excuses - I did not want to interrupt this occasion by pulling out a big camera and taking lots of photos. Hence, this iPhone shot is the only one I have from this reunion.

Jeff, I am so glad that you have been able to see with your own eyes the rewards of the kindness you showed this young woman. Who ever would have thought a "$2 Portrait" could have had such a far-reaching effect? I'm proud of her, and proud of you.
