Just Kids

  • Photographer
    Juan Valencia, United States
  • Prize
    Honorable Mention

All these images were made using either a 35mm or medium format film camera. I do process the film at home and many of the images I print in my darkroom in Brooklyn New York. Why just kids? Well I am a father to two awesome kids who get to experience the word in such raw and uninhibited way which truly inspires me. Photographing my kids and what what they do is a way for me to rediscover and experience the world from their perspective. I am also a middle school science teacher which enables me to be around my students and to document their experiences in and out of school.
