My first professional job out of college was working as a case manager in a medium security juvenile correctional facility. What a learning experience! These kids had in addition to the regular teen angst some unrealistic ideas about what made them a man. If only they were tough enough, angry enough, cruel enough. Some of those kids were truly mean. Many of them were misguided.

Whenever I see a teen boy with his teen boy “costume” on- hoodie, wild tee, and/or sagging pants, I think of those kids from back then. They taught me so much more than I ever could have taught them. And I am truly grateful for the opportunity.

  I asked him, “Hey, Dude! Let me take your picture.” He just shrugged and said, “Okay!”

Teen ager personified. Wish you would find out more about some of the people you photograph. Love you, Mom
