I live in Saskatoon, but that is not my identity. I am me, I have eyes, and senses. They see in pictures and snapshots of life. I am only 15, yet I have stored a million snapshots in my brain. This is my life caught on camera. I looked at my backyard in the same light as usual, but saw it in a different one. Twyla Toews, Saskatoon.

iI've been stretched out and it feels good . I love taking pictures. To me it is like people are getting to know me through my pictures, because I take pictures of things I like. Jasmine Fitzpatrick, Saskatoon

I believe that beauty is anything that makes you happy. I took pictures of things because they interested me and they have something to do with my life. Hannah Wilkinson, Saskatoon
I find beauty in statues, because they are other people's history, but most of all because it shows the work of other's hands in different ways. In stone, iron, and metals. Andrew Blair, Saskatoon.

My community is mainly about my childhood memories. Its a place where I feel special and confortable,where I can relax and think about my past, and about my future. Where I've experienced things. Because my community is so small, it's made me become more indipendent and original. Natasha Dalla-Giustina,Pennetanguishene

My community means many things to me,neighbours,family,friends, and my cat. I like taking pictures of older buildings, like the Midland library that used to be a post office. It is also nature, the trees, the grass (or snow), the flowers and Georgian Bay. I'm a naturalist, I really enjoy nature. Carl Strunkis, Pennetanguishene

II also plan on taking pictures of my friends at school. There is one thing I really want to try to photograph, that is the racoon that always comes to my door in the middle of the night. He is so cute! You can get pretty close to him without him running off.Monique Bottineau, Pennetanguishene

II think of Penetanguishene as a quiet, peaceful town with a vibrant history. Every street,tree,rock, has a history that contributes to the community. When I photograph I will keep in mind all of the history that Penetanguishene has to offer. Winnie Ng
