Stanley



Stanley Mayausky, 79, has failed his drivers licence test 61 times. Every day he wakes up, and walks two miles to the DMV office to take it again, in hopes of getting to drive his 1974 Chevy Impala again. "She's my baby," Mayausky says of the car.

Stanley had the best face. I was instantly drawn to it. So after I finished photographing him for the paper, I decided to do something for myself, so I asked him if I could make his portrait.

I think I'm going to start a tight face project for fun.
