It’s all conveyed in your pictures, while we may be searching for (or lacking) for signs that the awkardness will not grow into hopelessness.

This work is sublime. Your love for these kids is palpable, I can feel it radiating through my screen. I cannot wait to see where your photography goes from here but I imagine you may be the type of photographer who makes all of his subjects familiars.

Wonderful work again

MM

I was lucky and ‘escaped’, both lucky that I found a direction to head in and lucky I didn’t get caught. It’s so borderline, so easy for a smart young man to make a stupid mistake that will cost him his freedom (in many senses). I love the picture of the potatoes in the bowl. Simple rewards.

I think your story here reflects something that everyone must go through in life, firmly standing on ones own two feet, as it were, surviving. In a sense these kids are more fortunate than many, they’re thrust in the deep end, no choice. They already have the strength of character, just need to make it through the transition safely and they’ll be fine. I can feel your concern, a kind of deliverance, get them over this hurdle, this is the big one.

In another way, as a parent, it shows the best we can do is prepare our kids for life, we can never live it for them. In that sense all kids of this age are intimately connected, I’ve seen those troubled looks from rich and poor kids alike.

I actually ignored your photography and enjoyed the story. It wasn’t until I saw your prints on the walls that I realised how immersed in the story I was and how good the photography was. I had to go back for a second look! Thankyou for this piece.

I was reading a piece earlier about the ability of a photograph to excel beyond what it is. I think this sentiment is reflected well in your essay. well done Demitry. #15 in #14. Clever.

I’m late to this particular party, All been said I think.

Cheers.

Thank you for your note.

I’ve already received similar notes and thought about it much.
It is not an easy question and unfortunately I am not sure that I am able to form my opinion on that. Possibly I am simply not able to keep this distance. Possibly I am not interested in the things you are speaking about (hope you understand me I don’t want to hurt you).
Yes, I am searching for themes which could show our consistency with these children. This is unconscious search you know. This is the thing that I am captivated by, this is the thing that comes from inside and I can not be indifferent towards to. This is my path and I follow it. I think it is not right to make yourself feel the other way and switсh on your brain when your heart is working. Perhaps I haven’t come yet to that and it will be a next step.

I would like to thank you for you note once again.

I love the sense of being close and intimate with the people, and yet they are “place-less” images at the same time.

I have one critical comment that comes to mind. You have demonstrated your acceptance and intimacy with this group of people. I noted the photo with your photographs on the wall in the background, meaning you’ve spent some extended time and involved them in the project. This reminds me of Koudelka’s work in some ways. However, Koudelka achieved something at another level. His photographs showed his intimacy with the subjects and communicated the distance between them at the same time. There is a wildness that comes in, an element of surprise. I’d like to see more of that distance and element of surprise in this series. The people in these photos are surely like me in many ways, but how different are they? How is their world removed from mine? Just my 2 cents, so take it or leave it as you see fit.

Thank you so much for sharing… it doesn’t happen everyday to have to chance to look at such a marvellous, intimate, honest and inspiring work.
Thanks a lot!
