Here are another 10 images made in the Mae Sot Thailand dump with the families back in April/May 2016. This selection is from the 12 rolls I developed on Sunday. These photos are part of the "Forgotten Laughter: Families of the Dump" series of images I have been making in Thai since 2013. These families and children live and work in the dump, they are Burmese refugees, amazing folks and many are my friends.
