Cuevas
Former Neighbor
March 12, 2009
Carlos lived next door to me when I lived in City Terrace. He often came over after arguing with his wife to get some peace and quiet.
They day I took this photo he fell asleep on a chair with a cigarette between his fingers. I woke him up and asked him if I could shoot his portrait. After arguing a bit he agreed only if he could take off his shirt and show is neighborhood tattoo.
Some time later I showed him this photo and he said "Damn. If I saw that m***** f***** walking through my back yard I would shoot him."
Lucky for Carlos I shoot with a camera.
