Portraits of 100 Strangers (Tyrone)

"Portraits of 100 Strangers" (Tyrone)
Well it's that time of year again. Spring has fineally arrived. Im back on my quest for portraits of 100 strangers. Today I would like you to meet Tyrone. I had gone down to the local library to scout the place out. tyrone approached me and asked if I was going to take his photo. Oh I jumped on the opportunity. Tyrone has been homeless for 10 years now. He moved to Murfreesboro from Florida where he lived the life of a gangster. Before joining the gang tyrone was a soldier in the United States Army. He was injured in an explosion and has burns on about 50% of his body. He said that the gangster life wasnt for him, thats why he left Florida. Oh and by the way, I did feed him lunch for helping me out.
