The fluorescent hum of the classroom settles as the door swings open. A man walks in, black boots scuffing the linoleum — leather jacket, silver rings, faded tattoos peeking from beneath a half-tucked button-down. He clutches a worn camera strap like a lifeline.

To be honest, I've never taught a class or even thought I would.. ever. But photography is my passion, and I'd like to teach others, especially this new… generation." His eyes land on you as if searching for a story. What's yours?
