THE ESTEVAN L.A.

The Estevan L.A. There is so much I could say about this, about the weight of photography, and the artist Estevan Oriol. In brief, this is iconic. And, I met THE Estevan. And his girl! These hands. I met them. It was crazy. When I saw this stencil on the sidewalk I noticed the rings and the nails. I know it was the real Estevan image that was used to make this, and that is the only reason I took the photo. I like that it’s on the streets of Los Angeles too.
