This is the man who built Salvation Mountain. He's a wonderful man who operates purely on faith. Faith that God will provide him with all that he needs. So far he says that he hasn't been let down and he considers himself a very lucky man. He seems to get everything he needs whenever he needs it. Although his needs are simple, he feels blessed.
brother, I really love this one Ken. You've captured Leonard with his button shirt splattered in paint and all. Nice, even lighting on your human subject as well as the painted walls. cooool. erik
Thanks for your comments about this and my other shots. Erik Neldner shot another supurb portrait if this man which you can find in his portfolio. We took this last trip together. This place is reallty out in the boonies, about 3-3 1/2 hours southeast of L.A.
