In 2006 , as part of my exploration of youth culture for my monograph “We Are Experienced,” I traveled to the small town of Truth Or Consequences, New Mexico, where I took portraits of the local skate scene. Seeing these images, I am taken by how cool and confident these kids present. That even though, at that time, there were not that many female skaters, we represented quite a few. Thank you to @rafaelrios__ for taking all these trips with me!
