Just when I thought my life was challenging, this guy smokes and draws with his feet. Great make.

Balazs Pataki Let's hope so!

Balazs Pataki I wonder what he would choose if he could do only one thing? :)

Peter1980 Looks like maybe he's doing it. :)

This photo is a great lesson of life for all, Balasz. You have photographed this gentleman with dignity, very hard to do with this situations. A great and strong photo, with art inside !

The story here is very strong, even the drawing is interesting - and I like the way you put them together..excellent job. Bravo. My best, Phyllis

Balazs Pataki It was hard to make the painting to be seen, as it was a blank sheet directly in sunlight, I wonder if it could have been done with digital? The film I used was a shitty low-end negative but the dynamic range is... well, it's film :)

Strong stuff again Balazs. Always difficult to comment on something like this, other than that I have to remind myself about how fortunate I am.

Andre du Plessis LOL.....:)

I am touch
great story Balazs.

Balazs Pataki It's good to know that sometimes a photo still tells a story... not my strongest side I'm afraid. I was also happy to see this concept - two photos merged in a single frame - succeed and received favorably. Thanks Ricky!

incredible india. will be a nice mata kali. i met anothe painter in pushkar with no arms and no legs. i am amazed by the capabilities of people.

Balazs Pataki I'm afraid these things are man-made... if you know what I mean.

sasson haviv yes i know and that is the cruel side of india. one that i dislike so much. when in india you accept that this is india and thats it. extreme country.
but at the same time i sat for a few days with this painter with no legs and hands and saw what spirit people have even when they have nothing. he was cheerful although he lived in the street no arms no legs. it took him 11 days to finish one painting and then a cow came and ate it. India

Balazs Pataki That story is fit for a short novel...
