Cool story and great photograph. I told my wife that I intended to let my beard grow like this. There is a man I see in Venice all the time who looks just like this guy, always walking a little dog. Maybe I will take his picture, but I have been afraid to ask, being the shy type. Keep up the good work, and I'm glad you survived your accident with the bike.

I know a bit about his history... When he come the moment to choose his career, it had decided to study art (painting), but his dad, a millionaire of the epoch, he don't leave it, he force to him to study medicine, he obediently, study and he title as medical doctor, after it, return to his house with his Dad and he said to him " Here this one the doctor's title that so much you were longing for me, I have expired with you as son " and then he went to study to France painting. Nowadays it is continues being a millionaire but many people say that this madman

Yeah, im from Orizaba...he is actually is a great man, also a great painter, and there is a rumor, that he is a millionaire man...but he is also a very lonely one, and thats the reason he become crazy...sometimes he is walking naked in the streets, and sometimes he is a well-mannered man, like the person you meat. Sad story of a great man, that remind us wich important is the love for the humans.

Description:

I watched this fellow for a couple days while staying in Orizaba, Mexico. The haphazard painting on the abandoned building seemed to mean something, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

I asked the man if I could take his photo and he seemed very proud to be asked as he gleefully agreed. And, then I stood back... across the street and watched him add more daubs of paint here and there. He'd then pose himself... almost as an element in his own painting... along the sidewalk.

Passersby paid him no heed. Very strange.

Eventully some ol' woman came up to me and asked why I was watching that crazy man. She said he does this everyday. He paints a little blob on that old building... then stands in front of it as if he's "somebody". Crazy man! You should stay away from him.

"Crazy"? I don't think so... I say, Brilliant!!!
