CPOY 71 Interpretive Project Silver: Never Trust a Soul Where I'm From

Never Trust a Soul Where I'm From is a portrait of urban realities shown through the experiences of a family that has suffered tragic loss with each generation. Quotes and dialogue are paired with photos taken in the months following their most recent loss—the loss of 18-year-old James Johnson Jr. aka “Swagg.” This project is based on the belief that where people live and what they experience growing up in that environment does have a lasting effect on their lives.
