Hi Micheal,

I started a series of photos on Andre a while ago, thinking he was a good subject for a reportage. He suffers from muscular dystrophia, and he is a very dedicated painter. I met him in a collective exhibit in which I was participating myself. Every once in a while we meet, and I take photos of his work, so he has slides for his portfolio. I have good shots of him in his studio, and in his home. When I was a salesperson in a photography store, he used to ride many miles in his electric chair, just to say hi to me at work.

You're right, he would be an interesting subject for a photo-reportage. I freelance now with a local newspaper as a journalist and photographer, but it wouldn't be the right venue for this particular reportage. I have to say that my work puts me in contact with inspiring people very often, and that's why I think it's so great to work as a photojournalist. Thanks for your comment Micheal.
