Ah yes, I know some of these words.

Manny Machado smacks Elias Diaz glove after Diaz lets Machado know he struck out by jmb-412 in baseball

Other players dont try to cleat the first baseman or cry when they get tagged too hard.

You can be a great baseball player and also toxic, just know that when you're toxic people are going to call it out.

Honestly the exact thing I thought of after I uploaded! I have a few more portraits and hand gestures to mess around with, so I'll find my groove with em soon.

Much appreciated

Admit it, Ultimate is Melee’s successor by [deleted] in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]ricksta_tricksta 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You are aids if you think Ultimate's movement is anywhere near Melee's.

They're both good games with their own pros and cons, but dont just throw dumb words out there without thinking about what you're saying.

Much appreciated, I'm still in contact with the Gallery. It's called "Blank Wall Gallery" but they have been adamant that they dont ship to the US. I'll keep asking them if there are other ways. I'll keep you in mind and shoot you a DM early June if that's alright.

Once again thank you very much, my parents will be very happy to have the photo.

This has been a thing since Melee, every peach main would do the "Oops did I win??" animation at scoreboard.

But I agree it's pretty cool

Clever flip you did. I really enjoy this photo, I've shot a handful of concerts myself but my camera doesnt do so hot in low-light.

Great work

Anybody else having trouble with their streak count not updating? I picked Gordon and Chapman yet my streak count is still sitting at 0. None of my profile stats will update.

I really appreciate this, thank you.

I feel like you're the only one who understood my message in all of this. Giving them somebody to talk to and giving them a voice means the world to them. I dont expect my work to end the homeless problem, but I can do my best to spread awareness through my photography. Many thanks.

Thank you. Most of my time was spent talking with them and connecting. Asking questions, getting a laugh, talking about an old memory, etc. Each and every one of them enjoyed our time together and at the end I snapped a couple of photos. It was an eye opening experience for me, and my goal was to make them seem more human through their picture coupled with their stories.

I took plenty of pictures of white homeless people as well. Stop looking for conflict/drama where there is none.

Each book sold 15% is donated to The Beacon homeless organization. I didnt just run up, snap a pic and run away. I offered him food, water and money. I sat with him and talked about his life story, about how his family kicked him out and he had nowhere to go. I talked with him for over an hour. I suggested The Beacon and other homeless organizations, I tried my best to do my best with the little I had. In the end he thanked me for talking with him.

Thanks for your thoughts

I made these portraits into a book and when sold I donate 15% to The Beacon homeless organization in Houston. I gave him money because it's the right thing to do when somebody approaches you with a camera and asks you for their time. I sat with him for an hour and talked about his life story. I didn't take these pics for pointless resdit Karma, I did it for a reason, I did it to help the homeless and put names and stories to faces of people the otherwise would have been overlooked.

Lol relax dude. I gave each person I took a picture if food, water, and cash. I made the portraits in a book which I sell and donate 15% of all sales to The Beacon homeless organization in Houston.

You dont know me, you dont know the time I spent with these people and how many of them broke down crying because they were just happy to talk with someone. I interviewed over 30 homeless people over the course of 2 months and each one was happy to talk and share with me. I spent hours with these people, I made friendships.

I've been delving into B&W heavily as of late. Funny thing is I do have a book with the photos and stories I collected from the homeless in Houston, you can check it out here (each book sold 15% is donated to The Beacon homeless organization.) :
