Plenty of people are on the road, documenting this and shooting that. Stefan Ruiz stands out for the generous breath of his interests and the clarity of his presentation.
About his print, Don Jose from Nezahualcoyotl, Mexico, shot in 2003, Ruiz wrote:
This is a dump lord. He was very proud that everything in his office had been found in the dump: the television (which worked), the painting of the Mexican revolutionary Zapata, the desk, the rug, the trophy, everything. The plastic wall covering was kept in place with bottle tops nailed to the wall.
