His image became a homing device for me.....the safety razor ad at Rickwood Field had been there since to movie "Cobb" was shot in 1991. Painted from "movie paints" that weren't meant to last very long, the old beared Ansel Adams of a figured endured for almost twenty years until a newer ad, a paying ad took its place.....I was mesmerized by the old guy and took many pictures of him. Maybe I will do an exhibit of every single one of them so I can fit in with the mostly spineless photographers of today. He was replaced with the image that you see here....Vulcan, a symbol of old Birminghamm emerging from a baseball.
