Jiame Sr Robles, American Hero

For an assignment last spring semester, we had to photograph one of our classmates for our portrait class. I was starting to get to know Jiame at this point, and we became good friends. I wanted to photograph Jiame in a way that one could look at him and know exactly who he was. As you can see in the image, Jiame is a patriot, serving in the Special Forces from 1981 to 1995. I desired to show that Jiame has seen a lot in his life as a soldier, things that I could not begin to try to understand. I am honored to have a friend like Jiame, and we are honored as a country to have people like him who have fought for our freedom.
