Maxwell Jackson

He has a fixation with smoking. A bad habit. It not only ended his life, but the lives of 16 other people. "A Construction Worker Falls Asleep On the Job" is what the headlines read, and in smaller print phrases might catch your eye "...cigarette was the source of the fire... 16 dead... no survivors..."

No one misses his passing. He wasn't a nice guy in life. But forced to be a nice guy in death. He now roams the Earth, an angel of sorts. His punishment: doing good deeds for people. He hates it. All of it. Performing miracles. The wings. Being nice. All of it.













This is one of the best smiles you can get.










The next three photos, I'd love to blow them up and put them on my wall.







This is actually my friend Chris. I love his stupid face. This was one of the best and most overcast afternoons. Playing hooky from responsibilities to take pictures? Okay. Hang out with this guy if you get a chance. He'll spout poetry, beatbox in your ear and jump over cracks in the sidewalks with you.

These photos were taken almost 10 months ago. Wow. Time flies (when you have wings. Hah. Get it? Just ignore me). Maxwell Jackson is one in a handful of subjects for The Angel Project. More will come soon.
