"When I take a picture 1 fe e l like

most about photography is that when
I take a picture, I know that no one

“ In a time where life seems in
creasingly fragile, it is difficult for
anyone to stand tall. We w ill all be
knocked down. Grow ing up in such
real and underprivileged worlds, it is
inconceivable to imagine finding the
strength that these young adults find
each and every day. The young pho
tographers in straight shooting face
their world with a sensitivity that, at
many times, seems too perceptive.
They are consciously aware o f the
failures o f our society.
“ Flooding our darkrooms with
clearly seen photographs o f magical
and beautifully truthful images, these
students remind us o f the power o f
photography as an art It is an art o f
looking at our world. While anyone
can take a picture, only these young

evoked these dreamlike scenes o f
oppression, or their undying love for
fam ily in a single image. We are all
privileged to learn from their work.
“A ll o f us involved, the students
and the mentors, had to reach out
towards each other’s worlds. The
understanding and strength gained is
inexplicable. The relationships formed
and photographs created in this pro
gram are testament to the extreme
value o f our society working together.
There is pain, sorrow, and oppression
in our country. There is also self-
confidence, grace and pride amidst it
all. The students in Straight Shooting
have taught us this with their insightful
photographs and strength o f spirit. I
thank them all.”— Adam O gilvie,
