He built steel factories and bridges without a safety rope or helmet, working on the steel frames at the highest points. There were no health and safety laws or officers in those days. When asked bout why he didn't have a rope or helmet he replied there was no one but God above him to drop tools on his head.

But it makes the painter himself feel good - because he's doing what he loves. Maybe even there are people looking up and saying something like - look, what a nut! What a crazy person! But the painter is still smiling - doing what he loves. "Juggling on the rope." But he's good at it, and it will get him far. And he gets noticed while doing it.

During the times when films were black and white and did not have sound the actors would use facial expression and body movements to say something. This image also makes me think that even during the high point of a persons path there is work to be done. A silent film is what came to mind when I saw today’s picture.
