We had just finished dinner with Lavina and her friends. Chris spotted a young man with punk style listening to an MP3 player. Asked him what he was listening to… and before I knew it they were listening to each other MP3″s (Chris had an ipod). The young man’s name was John. He was hanging with his friends…. 18, left home. Spends his nights on the streets and sleeps during the day. Chris and John talked… I photographed his friend.

We kicked it with John and his friends for a good 2 to 3 hours. He told us about the Neo Nazi scene, the politics of the police, and the challenges he faced. I showed him some of the grafitti I had photographed and he recognized one of the pieces as the work of one of his friends and showed us another one of his works:
