"The Warm Shivering" by Nicholas, 15 | The Pioneers

“The Warm Shivering” makes me feel the chill spring air but the happy warmth inside me knowing that its going to warm up faster than your mind can register.

About Nicholas: "I'm Nicholas. I'm a freshman from Mauston, Wisconsin. I've lived there all my life, and I don't plan on moving from there any time soon. When I leave Northwest Passage, I plan on continuing all the hobbies I've learned here, so I can stay out of as much trouble as possible, and so I can be with my family ALL the time. I don't want to miss another day with them. Photography is beauty to me. I love photography. It's much more than what people think of it. Once you get into it, then you'll know how special photography really is."
