Night Falling on the Mountains
Shane, 16
Rocky Moutnain 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.

Alone on the Mountain
Shane, 16
Rocky Mountain National Park

I stand alone
Thinking about how to get home
People think I'm bad to the bone
But I need to stop running from home
So I don't have to be alone.

The Four Brothers
Shane, 16

This is me in the sky with my brothers.
All we ever do is think about our mother.
This is where we all come together
I never stand alone.

Lift Off!
Bobby, 17
St. Croix National Scenic Riverway

My name is Robert but call me Bobby. I'm from Prentice, WI. I'm 14 years old. My parents love me and care for me very much, but I've had some problems. I now want to better myself. I want to have a good job and a good education and a good job to support a family like my parents did for me. Photography is a crutch for me, but a good crutch--not like drugs or alcohol. It lets me get away from my problems and makes everyhting less stressful. I love photography so much, and I'm going to get a camera when I get home."
