I am the Mountain
Brack, 17

I am the mountain
I am the river that gives life
I am the priceless scenery
I am the highest of the peaks
I am the rain
I am every shadow under a rock
I am the sun that reflects in the lakes
I am every life

About Brack: "Hello my name is Brack. I live in Wisconsin, I've had many issues with drugs in the past. All that changed when I went to Northwest Passage. I was far away from home so it was a dramatic change for me. I was not by any friends, family, or anything that can change the way how I feel or think. That was something I am thankful for because it opened my eyes to the sorrow I was stuck in. From this experience I gained many hobbies, camping, hiking, exercising, but photography is my favorite. Photography is hope. Photography is life. Without this program I wouldn't know where I’d be."

About Jourdyn: Hi, my name is Jourdyn and I’m from Madison, WI. I came to Northwest Passage for mistakes I have made. But now I have learned to deal situations and frustrations. One way I've been able to cope with anger is to get out and explore with my camera. This is a way I’ve been able to calm myself down and get cool pics at the same time. I would like to thank the staff here but most of all my friend and mentor Ben Thwaits

Chief in the Mountain
Shane, 17
Rocky Mountain National Park

About Shane: My name is Shane. I was born August 12, 1994, in St. Paul. I used to struggle with things like school, love, feelings, and the law. Now I’m at Northwest Passage, and it’s a good place that will help you with things that have been happening in your life. It has helped me get ready for going back to real life. For me, photography is about feelings and time alone. It’s a way to get bad things out of my mind instead of using drugs. When I take a great photo I feel really good about myself.
