Sketches

Rendition from a photo.

I had a set of photos I had taken in  El Salvador,  Sam went through them and selected one,  looked at it for a while.  When he left he took the photo saying that he’d get it back to me.

Again on my kitchen table during a campaign concerning the un-documented on the roads without a driver’s license.
