  Photographing Martin Garrix at Made in America Festival last year I man comes up next to me in the pit.  Rapping and singing the songs Garrix is mixing.  He begins to throw stacks of $2 bills in towards the crowd.  It makes me laugh and take a picture.  He sees me and hands me one for luck.  I have no idea who he was but ever since that night, I have kept it on my desk beside me.  

  A couple nights ago I noticed an Instagram post by David Benjamin De Cristofaro about receiving a $2 dollar bill from Steven Reisman for good luck while he was at Coachella.  "Steven Reisman gave me a $2 bill for good luck. It seems to have worked for Jay Z & Drake so fingers-crossed & hopes high 🙂 haha #StevenReisman."  So I looked Steven Reisman up and seen pictures of the same man I received the $2 bill from.  Well,  he is seen at many festivals and concerts and been around many hip-hop Grammy winners.  Jay-Z, Beyonce, Macklamore, Drake, 2 Chainz and the list goes on.  Anything you can find on him talks about how he is a great guy and is seen giving out stacks of $2 bills for luck.  

  Maybe this $2 bill will bring me luck and hopefully one day I can pay it forward while still enjoying life like Steven Reisman.
