细节题
In the summer of 2015, Brian Peterson and his wife, had just moved to Santa Ana. Outside their apartment, an untidy homeless man was often yelling on the street corner, sometimes keeping them awake at night. Peterson would pass the guy on his way to his job as a car designer at Kia Motors, but they never spoke. What could they possibly have in common?
One day, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by the homeless man. Inspired by the book’s warm message, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to go outside and introduce himself.
In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris. He’d moved to here to pursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the street for more than a decade.
“It was the oddest thing to me,” Peterson recalled later, “I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved in probably a year. But his story inspired me.” Even though Peterson hadn’t picked up a paintbrush in about eight years, he found himself asking if he could paint Faris’s portrait. Faris said yes.
Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Working from a black-and-white photo of the subject taken with his phone, Peterson chooses colors inspired by the subject’s personality and life story, creating a distressing portrait. Peterson sells the vibrant (充满活力的) painting for a few thousand dollars, splitting the proceeds and putting half into what he calls a “love account” for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet.
Faris used the funds from his portrait to record an album, fulfilling his musical dreams. Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits, but there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone who’s down and out. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people differently now,’ ” Peterson says. “I didn’t know that would happen.”
What motivated Brian Peterson to go outside to meet Faris?

","A duty to address the homelessness crisis in his community.
","An aim to challenge social norms and improve his own personal life.
