PhotoJournalist's  Notes
I hadn’t decided how I was going to take the first shot until I heard her interview, then it came to me. Initially, it was recommended to me that I place her in front of a wall with graffiti. "How cliché" I remarked, how many latinos are we supposed be paraded in front of a wall with graffiti. When Janice finally made the decision to leave the gang life, she also decided that she wanted to lead a middle class life. To her, this meant a family, a house, and a car. The photograph captures those things that she was able to attain because of the departure from her previous life. The cyclone fence is typical of every other in the barrio, the neighborhood that she chose for herself to live in.
