Alleyway Friends

The children of the Alleyway are resilient. As we met the families and watched the children play in the alley, along the black water trench, an amazing skill for having fun with one another became clear. The Alleyway was ripe with disease, vermin and filth, yet these children were able to find joy in one another and their childhood inventions. Inventions that were necessities, as we saw not one toy or game during the day we were there photographing. The question asked was, “How long can they remain so?”
