The Developing Lives photography program is proud to have completed the third phase of the program for PreTeens in Brooklyn at Red Hook Housing. Chelsea Davis, the program leader, ran workshops over the winter months to a record turnout. Developing Lives provided photography training to more than thirty 6-12 year old New York City Public Housing residents to allow them to tell the stories of their lives in words and pictures. Through a combination of group lessons and individual meetings, Developing Lives works with participants to help them learn communication skills through the medium of photography.

Below are highlights from the third phase classes.

: My mother means a lot to me. A nice thing about my mom is that sometimes she gets me what I want. My mom and my dad will get me almost everything I want. I remember when I was at Disney World and I got every ride I wanted to go on.
