Tata:
①I photographed a person today, and he scolded me. I don't care, I just need to be patient to do things well.
②I never really thought that I would be rich. Even if I was poor, I could be very happy. Life is painful and sad, that’s all.
Maji (Aji?):
①As long as I have a camera in my hand, I can take pictures of people who have gone far, died or disappeared, so that I have something to look at for the rest of my life.
②Drawing can express the feeling in my heart, I put my soul into the color.
③My dad's name is Sonny Hyde. He is almost forty years old. When I was two years old, he married my mother, and later he got into the habit of taking drugs. My dad used to be a very nice guy. He used to be very fat. He could take down two people at once. He was very famous, and he is now. If his name appeared in Harper's Bazaar, everyone would recognize him. . Now that my mom is gone, he's been on drugs all day, so no one cares about him, but even since then, I've figured out a way to love him a little bit.
These are only seven or eight-year-old children, but what they say, I am afraid that even twenty-seven or eight-year-old adults can't say it.
Zena:
I'm not a social worker,
I'm not even a teacher,
I'm just afraid of this,
I'm afraid I can't do anything,
even educating
them can't change anything.
But if you don't help them, they're done.
