Accomplishment is a human value. It is hard to make a photo of an accomplishment unless you can link people to it. That’s what I was able to do with this image. I came upon a group of teenagers on lunch break just outside of their school, and was admiring a nearby wall that had been vividly transformed into abstract shapes and colors, along with many words, representing a community experience of some kind. As I began to photograph it, a student came over and told me that he had painted that wall. He even showed me his signature. He told me that his name was Egon, and that he was thrilled I had stopped to photograph it. I asked Egon to stand before his work, and tell me a bit about it as I made an environmental portrait of him. As he talked with me with me, he reached behind to feel the texture of the stone he had painted, and touched the very point where two arrows dynamically speed towards each other. At his touch, the paint becomes energy, and Egon, the creative catalyst.
