I accepted a challenge back in May to take and publish one picture a day for one year. Little did I know, this challenge would awake the little photographer in me who has been hiding out for a few years. This picture a day gig has become very important to me. I feel like it is bigger than a silly photo a day. It's a collection. It's art. It's challenging. And I think it's inspiring.

Day 134, Missoula Rabble, Zane and Kennett
Zane, left, and Kennett claimed to be brothers when I approached them. I didn't believe them. Zane explained. "He was raised in a white home and I was raised in a native home," he said. "We grew up from the same environment. The same home." Zane and Kennett, 18, were raised in and out of group homes most of their youth. They met when they were thirteen. "We adopted each other," Zane said. I asked Kennett what it was like growing up in group homes. "It's a tough life. You have to learn to do things you don't want to do," he said. "It's like having a normal parent, but I didn't know what that was like."
