    In 2017, we featured the work of Jordan Gale as one of the Honorable Mention nods for the Lenscratch Student Award. I was moved by his work and it has stayed with me over the past two years. Jordan has an innate ability to tell stories, in particular his own–of family, poverty, and drug abuse. His insightful photographs and honest narration of what he has learned from who he was and where he came from is an amazing tribute to a young photographer. His images are dark, jittery, and truthful, perfectly capturing life on the edge.

    I was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa; the only child to a single mother who since before I was born has struggled with a combination of drug abuse and poverty. When I was nine, our house was raided by the police on the suspicion that drugs were sold there. After this incident, we were forced to move and my mother attempted to overcome her addiction to methamphetamine. For several months, she slept most of the day, forcing me to partially raise myself. I always assured my mother that her addiction was never a source of shame or resentment, but this promise became more and more a lie as time went on.

    Congratulations to Jordan Gale, a student at the University of Iowa, for his Honorable Mention in the 2017 Lenscratch Student Awards. We were drawn to Jordan’s ability to be a participant observer storyteller, taking on the difficult task of looking at his past, his family and community with insight, compassion, and as a form of therapy. Poverty and  drug abuse affect whole swaths of the population and it’s an important subject to confront and consider, no matter how personal. Most importantly, it was Jordan’s ability to take a hard look at his growing up and accept and appreciate it for all it’s foibles and failings, that made this project so powerful.
