I am a Survivor

West Virginia

A close friend, born and raised in the coalfields of McDowell County, WV. It's often a hard life but it gives you the spirit, determination and grit to overcome any obstacle.

Your portraits show feeling and they are well done.

The cancer and treatment may have beat up her body but her spirit and strong will shines through those sparkling eyes. A powerful image well captured, Karen. Vote
Best to you,
Dick:)

Got a hell of a shock when I saw this, the spitting image of my mum in the 40s when she was welding tank turrets for the war effort. ( my mum died 30 yrs ago. ).
