These portraits of teenagers were taken at a small boarding school north of Santa Barbara where I taught from 1998 to 2008. I photographed the students during breaks between classes or on their lunch hour. These are guarded, yet revealing portraits of an unusual cross-section of teenagers. They are individuals on the brink of adulthood, perhaps not fully formed, but with the shadows of experience beginning to show in their faces.
