Collage by the boys

    We had a fun afternoon, shooting pictures and building collages  with the boys (@ Boys Home, West Bengal, India).

I was amazed at how fast the boys warmed up, each of them took two snaps from their backyard (trees/flowers/switchboard), then we paired them two by two for portraits. The boys did a fun collaborative editing session huddled on one laptop, and they picked pics from last two days, to make collages out of them.

        They loved changing the fill color to blue/red, or changing it to inverted colors, which they kept referring to as 'bhoot' (ghost) color. Their laughter filled the room, pure joy, on otherwise a dull 'puja' holiday, with all teachers off to their own families. 
     Most of these boys see their family one or two times a year, many have only one parent. The folks at CSS have taken the burden upon themselves, living out the command: "Anyone who has two tunic, should share with the one who has none" (Luke 3).
