In 2004 I did a photo-workshop with orphans in a little mountain-village in the south west of Bulgaria.

Each kid got a simple point-and-shoot camera. Every child shot about 5 to 8 rolls black & white film. Their pictures give us an intimate view in their life.

Each one is telling us his or her dreams, desires and ambitions.


In the end there was a beautiful exhibition made by the participants in the medieval mainstreet of the village.
