It was the sound of a guitar and a melodic chant that caught my attention on Powell Street. I approached and she kept chanting. She reminded me of Roma in Italy. Showing her my camera, she nodded and I proceeded to take a few photos. When she stopped, I tried to converse but she could not understand me, nor I her. I deposited $2 in her guitar case and she smiled in thanks.

Bradley
Via Flickr:
It was his sign that mentioned "compassion" that caught my eye. And then someone accidentally kicked over his cup that was sitting on the sidewalk along Market Street. As I helped him gather his change from the spilled cup, we began talking. “Bad day?”, I asked to which he replied, “Some worse than others and today hasn’t been too hot”. I told him about the $2 Portrait project and he readily agreed.
Bradley is 30 years old and from New York. He’s been traveling around the country for a few years just hanging out and and meeting people. He enjoys the freedom. He’s been on the west coast about 3 times but likes Florida the best. Bradley has a high school degree and has worked construction. Occasionally he’ll pick up some construction work when he’s in a city for awhile just to have some money in his pocket.
He was well spoken and while upbeat in tone, I sensed some sadness in his isolation. As I gave him the $2, he thanked me for the conversation and the money and I thanked him for sharing his story.

An awesome 7.5 mile hike with 1500' of climb. Actually harder coming down than going up.
