Struggling Artist--Depleted Emotion

Frankie loves playing the guitar, and has been enjoying this pasttime for a few years now. I believe it is one of the few things that actually soothes him on a consistent basis. He likes learning new songs, and has actually written a couple of his own. He has named himself Depleted Emotion. His title pretty much explains how he has felt the last year with his ups and downs. His music, however, is far from depleted. It is, on the contrary, quite fresh and lively. I love that he pursues his talent, and does not waste it away.

One of Frankie's friends, who is an aspiring photographer, wanted to take him out and get some shots. I love the way they turned out. They capture him as a struggling artist in a simple way. I love them:

I love it! He's so handsome, but don't tell him I said that. I feel like something's missing...maybe the guitar case open with pocket change in it! :)
