Excellent b&w portrait, Michelle. He clearly takes the Pledge seriously. On the other hand, the tee-shirt's comment about arguing is too perfect for my husband and me. I'll show it to him when he gets up tomorrow... #11381993

I want that t-shirt! :-) Your portrait work of "the people" are always so perseptive Michelle! Wonderful presentation! (the shirt would be for me to wear when I'm talking to my oldest grandson!) :-) #11437336
