Now that I have met old friends at the dump I feel reassured. I always do better in my photography when I have a personal relationship and connection to my subjects. I have known and photographed the Karen people I met today for over 2 years now,. To be a part of their lives and to rediscover who they are as people again is exciting. Just as I photographed sex workers over many years I am now doing the same with the "Families of the Dump series.
Everything will be OK now.
