Artist's Comments

while in the city today i met this kind old homeless man. he bummed a smoke, we chatted for a moment, i snapped his picture. though he had nothing but a bicycle and a bag with some of his belongings, he was one of the happiest people i've ever met and you can see it in his eyes. it made me think for a moment.



...this is for damien

A great study in the human condition, and yes, we could take some lessions from his happiness, sometimes 'less is more', reminds me of a Zen proverb "now that my house has burned to the ground, I have an unobstructed view of the stars", cheers :)

beautiful portrait. you should read the book "the glass castle" by jeannette walls, because this reminded me of some of the views in it. its a good read.
