“I take pride in my heritage and physical features. One theme that
can be noted in my work is my hair—the braids.” —Latrice Jackson
“When I was given a cam-
era, photography suddenly
became an art, my art. I got
over the embarrassment of
being a voyeur and tried to
mold my surroundings into
a frame.”
—Noah Robbins

“When I am intrigued by a certain scene or image, I try to capture the moment in a
quick sketch—then, looking back at past ideas I can create compositions purely from
moments that captivated me.”
