The winter of 2014 has gone into the record books, and our collective memory, as one of the coldest, snowiest and most indomitable in our history. The young men at Northwest Passage 1 braved their way through many cold days to be rewarded with a vibrant and rich spring and summer full of stunning subjects and captivating light. Moreover, they found inspirational moments and opportunities for reflection. We hope you enjoy this insight into their experiences.

My Turtle Shell By D’Angelo
My walls are up, no one can hurt me
My shell is protection from those who desert me
If I am bothered I tend to snap at others
Otherwise, I am cool as night in summer
I mind my own business walking and swimming slowly
My shell at the ready if any danger is showing.
Hi, my name is D’Angelo and I am 17 years old. I am from Jim Falls, Wisconsin. Photography was an extremely helpful coping skill for me. It was a way to express my emotions in a positive way.
