“This picture describes a kid who’s growing up too fast, not enjoying his childhood, but stepping into the danger zones of the darkness, and the darkness eventually takes over him. The light has so much faith and so much to offer, but when you’re pulled to the dark, you don’t know what’s going to happen.
The kids in North Lawndale aren’t being kids anymore, they’re growing up in the dark. God is our light, and when you don’t stand in the light, you become a product of your environment. I grew up in the dark and didn’t see what was going on in the light. Being in the dark is a norm for me.”
-John Smith
