For the past seven weeks, nine teenage students spent their Tuesday afternoons studying photography at the Everett Public Library with Promising Artists in Recovery, a program created through the Denney Juvenile Justice Center in Everett. Every week students left class with 35 mm film cameras, going out to document everything from their daily lives to friends and family to themselves.
