Charles Bukowski
Individual who deserves a portrait, not knowing why this image was chosen. Out of character, wearing Hawaiian shirt by beach overlooked by palm trees. It may just be California and nothing so exciting, but still it looks as if he hasn’t enjoyed a drink for maybe a day or two. He was able to describe life as it is without the need for pretense that it is something else.
Laureate of American Lowlife
