"Intimidation" by Cooper, 16 | Northwoods Revealed

This eagle looks like he is watching over everyone, standing up tall. Prepared to swoop down if anyone gets out of line. Sometimes I feel like the world is the eagle, watching and intimidating me. But other times I can feel confident like the eagle- like I can stand up and see. Watch everyone without being afraid of what they think of me.

About Cooper: "I am from Wisconsin but grew up in many different states before that. My past was difficult and rough. I fought with my family and I have not seen my mom since I was ten. What I see myself like in the future is owning my own comic book business. I started writing my own comics in kindergarten and everyone told me I was great at it. I’m still improving, but what I say is practice makes progress. In a New Light means a lot to me. Photography is a type of art of capturing a story in a photograph. I also like photography because everyone likes the pictures I take. I see photography as a talent of mine."
