Artist's Comments

This was taken in Orizaba, Mexico of a simple painter who paints the side of this building with abstract colors... then just stands by it each day. When I asked him permission to photograph him and his art, he seemed quite surprised and honored. Seems most just pass him by each day and write him off as some nut-case. He had a soft gentle voice and was more than happy to pose for me... probably to show all those people at someone sees him for what he is... a true artist.

Yes, I thought so too... felt a bit of kinship with the old fella. He seemed to represent the pure artistic spirit to me.
