Description
(L to R: Vincent, Jason, and Keith) Whalley Avenue - New Haven, Connecticut
*I worked my way through college at an inner-city hardware store in the mid-1980’s. Occasionally, I brought a camera with me to photograph the tough streets of the neighborhood during breaks.
These three boys often dropped by the store just to say hello, and one winter afternoon asked if I could take their picture. It wouldn’t even occur to me until decades later that what they really were asking was to carry a piece of their innocence with me on this long journey from youth to wisdom.
Some gifts, simply put, can never be repaid...
