 I took this photo of my father after blasting him with two halogen work lamps in a darkened room. I felt the work lamps were a fitting tribute, since he's been working himself to the bone every day of his adult life.

Shot in raw, imported into lightroom where I converted to black and white. I then cropped into a square, added some grain, worked the contrast and tone curve while dodging and burning some areas. Finished off with some minor spot removals.

I think the square crop works great here. It really enhances the face. I do think that the light on his right eye makes him look a little more "otherworldly" than "workin' man."
