Default Event Report: The Samich Run

This is the 5th annual Sammich Run. It was an idea I had come up with years back. Basically I wanted to get my friends to skate through San Francisco with me. But a lot of them stopped skating for one reason or another. Also I wanted to do something to help the homeless whenever I went and skated through San Francisco. Hence the Samich Run. The first couple of years, it was my mom and aunt slaving away to make sandwiches for me and my friends to give out to the homeless. I funded this by just saving some cash towards the end of the year. They would make us about 200 ham and cheese sandwiches in several hours. This year however, we decided that we should make the sandwiches ourselves. Five of us pounded out 335 sandwiches in 2 ½ hrs. There are a few friends who have been helping me since the beginning of this event. And now there are a lot of friends who are very enthusiastic about helping out with this event. I would like to thank everyone who has made this possible for the last 5 years. This year my girlfriend Richelle suggested we should bring some bagged up dog food for the homeless animals we see. Ha we saw more cats than dogs this year unfortunately. Sometimes random people see us give a sandwich to a homeless person and ask us which organization we are from, I simply shrug my shoulders and say “none”. I believe that people should just give just to give with no reason whatsoever. This is also the first year in which I decided to photograph this event. I don’t think I will photograph next years event just because I feel like it slows down the flow of us skating around and handing out sandwiches. So here is a rare glimpse of what my friends and I do for Christmas.

Also, I have taken this opportunity to shoot my very first set of Street/journalistic photos. So please critique my work guys.

This is the night before the Samich Run. 335 ham and cheese sandwiches in 2/12 hrs.

Here is Catman. I saw him hanging out on the sidewalk of the Powell station. He holds up a sign asking for cat food donations. He tells me that he usually hangs out on fisherman's warf. Catman says he does not stay at shelters.

19.This is Larry I saw him sitting on some steps at the Civic Center. He used to have a job in San Diego as a carpenter and he says he fell off the roof and that he dosen't remember much since. He takes of his hat and shows me his scar close to his temple. 3 yrs later he is here in San Francisco. Greg started to cry when he told me that he lost all his top teeth. I started to get chocked up when I realized that something as basic as your top teeth was really a necessity to this person. Greg is an alcoholic. He tells me that he drinks because of his physical pains. Despite of what the city of San Francisco has done for him and his medical conditions. He can't seem to find some assistance for his addictions.

20.I saw Andy ripping on his guitar at the park. He was very kind and was chatting with us. He had a home a couple weeks back when he lived with his nephew. His cat scratched his nephew by accident and threatened to kill his cat "sweetie" if his face swelled up. So, Andy left and has been homeless for a couple of weeks now. He keeps sweetie in a very comfortable compartment of his cart. She looks comfortable with all the blankets in this container. He has lived in San Francisco for 30 yrs now. A very interesting gentleman with a kind soul.

Props to you guys, seriously.

And I'd just like to say that if anyone wants to help out the homeless, you don't need to set up a big sammich run or join an organization.
Just the simple act of talking with them and maybe giving them a hot cup of joe every once in a while, will really brighten their day.

Thank You, Jumbo! (PuppY_K1ck3R)
I'm glad I could participate for the 2nd year in a row, and you can sure count on my help in the future. I posted some pics and info on a mountainboarding message board, and got excellent responses and even an e-mail stated that this motivated him to help others in his community. Our first goal was to help these people in need. Our 2nd goal was to encourage and motivate others to do the same. Mission Accomplished!

Man, I didint i was going to get this good of a response from the fish. But thank you everyone. This is our krew's way of spreading the stoke. I mean we have managed to keep this on the downlow for 5 yrs. But I just wanted people to react and do things of their own to help someone. The little things we do can change things in a big way.......I know that didin't sound like Puppy K1ck3R. Anyhoo back to being evil. muahahahahaha!!!

Great stuff, you documented it in a great way. Some of those portraits are stunning.


PS.A little tip from a fellow photographer, don`t do those black-and-with-with-something-in-color. Those are the photographic equivalent of mounting your trucks backwards
