Every kid in this world is identical to the other. Where ever you go, one kid's smile is same as the other's. Sorrow is same as well. I love to capture moments of children as they are themselves. They are the only ones truly dedicated to and depended on having "Fun." We become ONE no matter what the circumstances are...

I have intimately attached to the kids when I was shooting my documentary about the success story of the band called "Staff Benda Bilili" meaning 'Look Beyond Appearances', whose members suffered Infantile Paralysis - Polio. No matter what the circumstances are, they kept walking and walking, finally, they had their dreams come true by dedicating themselves to music.

The place where I shot my photographs was Staff Benda Bilili Club neighborhood.

I would also encourage you to watch my heart warming 7 min docu-drama of Staff Benda Bilili. "Art Without Limits" Gold Winner: https://vimeo.com/127981942
