The Barcelonians: Man Leaning on Wall, La Merce Church, Barcelona

Man Leaning on Wall, Barcelona [enlarge]

This is my new addition to a set I will call The Barcelonians. Not that I am trying to emulate The Americans by Robert Frank , oh no (ironic). No, seriously, I love the idea of grouping people from all countries, statuses, genders, or age that are considered to be Barcelonians. Understand by that, anyone living in the city no matter what creed, race, nationality or money in the bank. I don't want to get too ambitious nor dare I imitate the masters (God forgive me). Ok let's cut the crap. Here is a man coming out of La Merce church, leaning on the wall as he walks, due to some leg impairment. That's it.

Talking about desecrating the masters or photos in general, here are some of the world's most famous photoshop fakes via photopreneur.
