This summer, I met a 17-year-old boy named Jay at a DIF shelter in Tijuana. He had spent 15 of his 17 years in the U.S., brought from Mexico at age 2. Working alongside KPBS reporter Amy Isackson, we recorded his story and photographed him (all except his face because the shelter administrators wouldn’t allow it). We documented our time with him on the KPBS blog Off Mic.

Story is really well done. The mix of photos (very good by the way), video, and interviews works well.
