Double Sided
Kyle, 17
Isle Royale National Park
The world is double sided,
Full of darks and lights.
which makes me wonder who decided,
on the ways of life.
How do we control the flight?
It seems that we may never know
the directions that our lives will flow.
About Kyle: "My name is Kyle, and I am 16 years old. My life has been a little complicated up till now. When I came to Northwest Passage and took up photography I discovered that it’s way more than just art. It’s a way to express how you’re feeling inside. I hope that photography keeps me going down the right track because that’s the way it’s taken me so far."
