They are called Juvenile Delinquents or Youthful Offenders. Whatever they are called, they have broken the law and they are doing time.

Their prospects when returning to a society that would just as soon shun them are frankly, pretty dim.

Fresh Eyes Photography Project is teaching these kids how to take pictures. We give them hands-on training in photography and basic computer image processing.

We are professional photographers who want to give back. We think we have found a way to make a difference.

We have witnessed the change first hand. From lost kids to young people with potential. While they may not leave lock-up and become photographers, they will have learned first hand that along with the power to change the outcome of their photographs they have the power to change the outcome of their lives. They can now view the community they live in as a place in which they too have a stake.
