Picture This! My Life, Your Life, Our Lives: Photographs by Youths from the San Gabriel Valley

801 South Ramona Street, San Gabriel, CA

Inspired by New York-based photojournalist Corky Lee and conceived as a companion-exhibit to the Asian Roots/American Reality: Photographs by Corky Lee exhibit, Picture This! is a 12-week program trained and challenged the students to compose stories of their community.  This is a series of black and white photographs created by 12 students from the San Gabriel High School (San Gabriel, CA) in 2008.
