15 Days at HCC
The other day as I was walking into HCC, I saw a black girl who looked about my age and 8 months pregnant. There was something about her that made me wish I had my camera on me to photograph her. It was at that moment that I realized that this is my last semester at HCC and that soon, I will not be surrounded by such diversity as I had been these past 2 years. So I have decided that for my last 15 days at Houston Community College, every day I will photograph one student and interview them. This will be your lens into my community college experience and the people I am surrounded by. I hope you enjoy this project, please feel free to comment on the pictures and interviews.

Me: Why do you wear so many bracelets?
Gino: I go to raves and get them there. Its called candy.

Gino: Not ecstacy, just weed. I get chopped.
