This weekend was my son's (the one who needs a haircut and has an un-tucked shirt) first piano recital. His Nigerienne piano teacher is amazing, the show was fabulous.

This photo was taken by the One Hundred People project when they were in Niger.

duma

Duma lives on my street and always asks how my son is, loves it when Stefan comes out with a soccer ball. I wanted pictures of kids today, and Duma will round everybody and explain what I want. He wanted me to take his picture with his friend, who is holding a two mille note, which is a lot of money for a kid to a have, he must a have been on an errand. I printed out these pictures and will give them to Duma and his friend tomorrow, I'm sure he doesn't have many pictures of himself. He's the one in the back, he's fourteen years old.
