It was wonderful to be a part of the do1Thing project last week on Valentines day. I met up with a 20 year old boy who I had photographed a month earlier. Kyle has spent his life, since age 7, in a variety of foster and group homes. He never had a normal childhood or teenage life. It was so heartwarming to watch him button up his wrinkled, too small suit. He was outside, downtown, in the cold...putting on a suit to go to a dance for recovering youth addicts. The dance, sponsored by New Avenues for Youth here in Portland would be his first and maybe a step in the right direction for him.
