Recycling in Bangladesh
The recent building disaster in Bangladesh reminded me of the photographs I took there in 2008 of children scavenging for recyclable materials on a landfill site. There is so much wealth in the world yet millions are forced to live in dire poverty hardly able to buy enough food to survive. These children traversed a stinking rubbish heap in their bare feet looking for materials to recycle.

Liverpool
30 years ago when I was a novice street photographer I used to wander around the streets of Liverpool with my 35mm camera around my neck. Every time I walked near a bunch of children they would ask me to take their photograph. Here are a few examples.
