p.1 #1 · Tommy The Gladiator (photo with a story)


Two months ago I was introduced to Tommy a 5 year old boy battling cancer. My close
friend who introduced us told me of how Tommy has been a fighter throughout this whole
ordeal. He gets chemo, had a 6 pound tumor removed (the scar on his stomach) and he still smiles and is full of energy. I decided to do a photo shoot with Tommy as a present to him and his parents.
After much thought, I decided that Tommy is a True Gladiator.
Here is the final image of Tommy and a photo of me presenting the finished image to Tommy. (I'm the one on the right in the pic)

what a great thing to do! What's his prognosis? I sure hope they get all the cancer out and he's able to live a full life.

As a grandfather who saw his grandson go through two surgeries (the first at less than 1 year old), I can't thank you enough for doing something like this.

That aside, great concept and execution!

brick, not sure as to the type of cancer but it's pretty aggressive. So far he's been responding well to treatment.

guys, thank you for the kind words.
As a father of two boys, kids are my weakness. If there is anything I can do to help a kid out, I will
do it..
To see his mom's eyes tear up when she saw the photo, made me cry...

Just got the news, Little Tommy beat the Shit out of Cancer, scans came back clear, no trace
of the disease whatsoever...
Through the whole process he was a true Gladiator !!!!!!!!!!!
