A plate of food in the café. I saw his arm with the tattoo saying Strength and I thought it would be a good photo.
My brother talking on the phone with an ice cream. I wanted to catch him doing two things at once.
A toy car in my bedroom. I want to be a Formula One driver when I grow up.
Children looking at the teacher in a classroom. I liked it that they weren’t looking at me and the camera and they were focusing on their teacher.
The teacher explaining something to the class. I had only just joined the school so walking around taking photos helped me to get to know it better.
Assembly on the last day of term at my school. I think the children in this school really enjoy being at school with their friends.
We burst into the café and saw a tattooed man,
He started fry up food in an oily pan,
Then I turned around and saw another guy with a plate of food,
His face looked kind of mean and rude,
He reached for his coke,
He started to shiver and choke,
I took a picture of his plate,
And focussed my camera on the food that he ate,
And then I noticed his tattoo
A symbol for his friends and his crew,
He told me strength is needed,
If you wanted to be well treated,
And although he had a skin head and looked quite mean,
He told me that strength lay in following my dream.
