Passage 1 How much do you know about your neighborhood? Can you recognize your neighbors’ faces? Teenagers from Live Oak in California, US would say yes. They took photos of their neighbors and put them on city walls. The kids took part in an international photography experiment called the Inside Out Project. It calls on (号召) people around the world to take black and white photos to discover and share something about where they live. People can upload pictures to the project’s website. Large prints are then made and sent back to people to show in their communities. In Live Oak, you see big pictures on the walls of an art studio (工作室) and a supermarket. Nicholas Gonzalez’s work covered most of one wall. The 13-year-old took a photo of an elderly Latino man. “We call him ‘The Superman’,” said 13-year-old Casey Sustaitapaz. “Nicholas took that picture right outside the supermarket down the street called ‘Super’.” “It’s been really great,” said Sustaitapaz. “We’ve gotten to learn a lot about our community and meet people we never met before.” Dyana Aquilera, 13, a student at Mission Hill Middle School, learned about the project through her mom and wanted to take part. “I really like being a part of something so big,” she said.
