D327: Overcoming · Jul 24, 2010 · All Posts, Blog

I participated in the Scott Kelby worldwide photowalk in Athens, GA.  We had a pretty good turn out even though it was very hot!  We met Michael Davenport, a man who has no arms and paints with his mouth paintings of portraits and paintings related to UGA.

When he was 13 years old he was swinging a rope with a copper wire in it when it hit a power line and electrocuted him.  Although doctors said he would never be able to use his limbs again, Davenport was determined to not let his disabilities get in the way of pursuing one of his favorite hobbies, art.
Davenport can be found drawing sketches around downtown Athens surrounded by a group of amazed patrons.
