Small Town Inertia : Market Town : Bruce : 24 hours to judgement

I met Bruce (15) and his partner Amy (18) as they were sleeping on the floor of a house in Market Town. Bruce went to the same High school that I attended, hangs around the same streets as I did. I was instantly enthralled with his story, troubles and perspective on life.

Tomorrow Bruce has a court date and may be re-sentenced for his part in a burglary. I wanted to hear his story and listen to the life that led up to the events that could lead to 6 months in juvenile prison.

I like image 4 the best, like he's contemplating what might lay ahead and how he will cope. Another great set of images, well done.

Wish I had the nerve to take on a massive project like this, as you have.

Strong portraits, Jim . Made even more impressive by the powerful story that Bruce had to tell.
