I had the pleasure to photograph a true American hero not long ago. Gabe Martinez is a US Marine Corp veteran who was badly injuryed while serving overseas. Gabe was given a free assistance dog (Wonka) from the Wounded Veterans Initiative™ through The Canine Companions for Independence.

I shot Gabe in my studio in color and the images were converted to black and white for the mailer. I did this project Pro Bono, ever possible I try to fit these sorts of project into my schedule. It's the least I can do. DT
