"El Pintor de Orizaba" ~ Orizaba, Mexico © 2010 Skip Hunt

I'm wondering... do you suppose this subject would make a nice documentary if I could find this guy again?

This man was considered a mad man in his city of Orizaba. The locals avoided him. He paints on this abandoned building everyday and stands by his morning's work for the afternoon. He was so happy that I didn't think he was crazy and wanted to make his image. He's a true "artist" in my book.

"Fado" ~ Coimbra, Portugal © 2010 Skip Hunt

“The last rights were given... all was lost.

He'd hoped for a miracle or for the huddled mass to finally awaken from the wicked enchantment.

It was not to be.

And so it went... fluttering and battered... slipping out through shuttered window crack...

Perhaps one day they could finally see. How furious they'd be!

He packed up his rage... folded it carefully, and placed it neatly next to his hope...

He closed the pack and made his way down the darkened passage singing a lone sad melody.”
