I captured my favorite image of the week on Feb. 25. 

Latino artist Armando Castelan signed his artwork at the “Yeager Experience” building, 2800 Yeager St. The piece features Black business leaders in Fort Worth past and present. 

In this image, I tried to capture the moment Castelan finalizes the piece as his work. In collaboration with nonprofit Community Frontline, Castelan created the mural to preserve the legacy and impact of Black business on Fort Worth and create a space where the community can gather.

I shot this image from a low angle to include a portion of the mural and for dramatic effect.
