Free (At Last)

I spent a some time as a teenager on the margins of homelessness. I was an "at risk" youth: floating between houses, dropped out of school, working part time and free riding, never really staying put anywhere. Everything I owned I kept in boxes, in storage in various places. This was the context for the creation of this series.

I am proud of these pictures. It is the oldest series you'll find on this site. There are many things about these photos that I find naive, amateur even, but I love the earnesty and honesty with which I made them. I choose to continue showing this work because I have hope for a free future. I continue to believe that human beings need to be free.
