Young Boy in Truck

National Geographic photographer Sam Abell gave a group of Erie, Pennsylvania teenagers, all recent immigrants to the United States from four continents, a unique opportunity to document their lives and surroundings during National Geographic's Erie Photo Camp 2007.

During the four-day workshop, students created photographs reflecting the current state of their lives, including this photo of a young boy posing above a smiling portrait of himself.
