I first met Mike while volunteering at a local community mealsite in my hometown. Mike allowed me to photograph him on the condition that he could sketch my likeness with charcoal as he is quite the talented artist.

Leroys, great first shot to post here. A really nice B&W, and what great character you've captured. Old, lined and compassionate face. Excellent stuff. Welcome to dgrin! :thumb
