Downtowns always provides color and character! Kat Johnson (Raleigh) definitely provided that as I came into his area. Telling me his story brought out raw emotion from his time in the Navy explaining that what they did haunts him to this day. Kat began to tear up and tell me he didn't want to speak about it anymore, so I asked to make a portrait of him, and he obliged. He told me he's lived on the streets as a veteran so long he wouldn't know any other way. He said only the strong survive.
