what is truth? is it truly possible to record the absolute truth of a person in their portrait? no? because of biases you say, the maker and creator behind the camera or brush paints and records with a certain natural and therefore peculiar bias. it's only natural to have bias. and everyone has bias. even the blind see with a bias perspective. and if bias is omnipresent and a truth of truth of life, then perhaps it is possible to record all truths and the human portrait. what say you I say? #portrait #portraiture #artist #thatlight

insane. he paints with chocolate-syrup-like oils, crouched like a spider and hovering over his canvas with a paint dripping spoon. his paint is like black spider webs, fine hair like webs. he's equal parts spider, hipster dad, and spoonman. @jimmitoro #painter #paint #artist #fineart #portrait #portraiture #lifestyle #lifestylephotographer
