Photos: Young teens frame their surroundings

Laura Simpson, 14, liked her picture of the East Berne Fire Company’s garage, taken from its stairway. Her father is a member, she said, and she hopes to one day join the company. 

Kelley Doolin, 15, has raised goats for milk and for show for about a year. She liked her black-and-white picture of four of them, running together, she said, because they look free.

Axton Pulliam, 13, took one of his favorite pictures behind the Octagon Barn, a popular venue in Knox, where hayrolls were scattered in a rural landscape. In addition to each photographer’s chosen subjects, the group’s assigned ones were “Main Street,” a landscape, the Berne library, the bell tower of the Helderberg Evangelical Lutheran Church, and the town park.
