Young girls
These two young girls walked by while visiting people from the Shipibo-Conibo community to talk about free photography workshops. This particular community was relocated to Lima years ago from the Amazon and still remain in the government houses that were built for them.

Danuska
Danuska recently moved a few hours away from Lima as she was feeling fed up with the police raids and constant harassment from her boyfriend. This was one of the last pictures I took of her and I’m hoping to visit where she’s living soon. Photo by @davillasana, Day 2 for Burn Diary.#burndiary #transgender #docproject …
Asumi
Asumi stands in the light of a police car during a nightly raid. Although prostitution is not illegal in Peru, police raids are a common occurrence.

Bedroom
This is @akirchuk, in my day-4 of my week posting images for BurnDiary. Today, we travelled to London to give our daughter the Argentine nationality.

Lucìa getting ready to go out
Photograph by @akirchukLess than two months after being a father, life happens mainly indoors, at home. We talk with my wife a lot about time: how is possible that time evaporates so quickly, so interceptibly, in many senses. This morning, she said to me a few things about this, where does the time go.

Edinburgh
