Janet Lozano is among a group of young photographers determined to change that as members of the Bronx Junior Photo League, an after-school program run by the Bronx Documentary Center. Working with professional photographers, they learn not only picture-taking, but also how to do interviews and write stories. The work of some two dozen photographers is on display through June 19 at the center, where they are showing everything from daily scenes and cultural celebrations to portraits and spot-on street photos, all with a sense of composition and color that belies their ages.
