Mitch has a way of leaving an indelible mark on the places he inhabits, often without permission: from pouring concrete tables inside rented Acapulco bungalows to decorating someone else's Texas border motel with his original and difficult-to-move laser-cut stone. His legacies are abundant, challenging, and ultimately overlooked by those just passing by.
I've witnessed his unorthodox lifestyle, translated his stories, and collected ephemera sent by mail as proof of his bizarre conquests. This collection of photographs begins to tell the story of my father's "works-in-progress" and reflects on his enigmatic existence. He currently resides on the border of Mexico in Langrty, Texas. This town, population 11, was made famous by the legendary Judge Roy Bean, The Law West of the Pecos, one of my father's personal heroes. Mitch is often found riding his golf cart down highway 67.Mitch has a way of leaving an indelible mark on the places he inhabits, often without permission: from pouring concrete tables inside rented Acapulco bungalows to decorating someone else's Texas border motel with his original and difficult-to-move laser-cut stone.
