Along the way, they are joined by PO, another local music enthusiast. The drummer, Josh, (not in the picture) & wearing a coyote mask comes with a deep rooted faith of healing with the sound of his drums. More images will be uploaded on the Projects section of Photoduniya.com.

Larry Hunt, popularly known as Bucketman, is a common name in the busy intersection of the Civic Center. Over the last 20 years he has played the buckets on the streets. His name to fame came when he appeared as the Bucket man in Will Smith’s 2006 movie The Pursuit of Happyness.

Brian has been playing the guitar for over 20 years and spends a considerable amount of time traveling to the eastern countries on music tours. From the few times I have met Brian, he was playing with Larry and the Hendrix band. An amazing musician and a dedicated artist, Brian has plans of organizing more artists in the future and create something big.

As an outsider, and someone who had only read about these massive colorful story telling picture boards (or walls actually), the paintings looked breathtaking. But the local people are so used to it that they never pause for a moment to see.

Dominated primarily by the colorful Latin art style, each wall mimicked inspirational stories. To a culture so diverse as that of San Francisco, they seem to be an extremely powerful way of communicating social and religious messages to the local population.
