I'm photographing myself out there. Not myself physically, but mentally. It's my take on the world.
I'm known for taking pictures very close, and the older I get, the closer I get.

Some of those kids, when they were old enough, would go out and shine shoes. They would show up at the gate of our compound to shine shoes, and you'd swear they were looking for their fathers.
