Everyday Superheroes

From artist Dulce Pinzon:

The Mexican immigrant worker in New York is a perfect example of the hero who has gone unnoticed. It is common for a Mexican worker in New York to work extraordinary hours in extreme conditions for very low wages which are saved at great cost and sacrifice and sent to families and communities in Mexico who rely on them to survive.

The principal objective of this series is to pay homage to these brave and determined men and women that somehow manage, without the help of any supernatural power, to withstand extreme conditions of labor in order to help their families and communities survive and prosper.

actually, I don't really care too much about how pretty a girl is...what matters is whether she is passionate.

how about that Big-D...a visitor...oh wait, nevermind.

nice pic and comment though.
