Established nearly a decade ago, the West End School is a free, private, college preparatory elementary and middle school for young men. The Come With Me photographic exhibition is a personal expression of the young men’s experiences at the West End School. Members of the Speed Art Museum staff spent five weeks working with the middle school boys as they learned about composition, visual storytelling, and photographic techniques. This process culminated in students using Holga cameras to document their perspectives of campus life.
