		<description><![CDATA[The series Andor shows part of a work in progress about a Roma family living in northern Serbia. Andor is their fourteen year old son and the eldest of three children. Andor left school in 2007, aged eleven, because he had been having some problems and should have been transfered to a school for children with learning difficulties. However his parents, fearing that he may fall under the bad influence of some of the children there, decided to keep him at home. Since then Andor spends most of his time working with his parents as a hired farm labourer, helping at home in the barn, playing with his younger siblings or watching television.]]></description>

The house where she grew up and the people who are part of that life serve as characters. The word "Family" connects us, but the extent of our connection depends on several factors. Families can be separated by physical distance, but often it is more complicated and the relationships themselves form walls and separations. "Si Dios Quiere" which means "If God Wants," attests to the fact that relationships are inherently difficult.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mattias Ericsson: I carry my camera with me every day. My photography is based on continuity and routines. I shoot things that I intuitively feel are relevant. Sometimes I press the shutter button to capture a fleeting memory or feeling. I take the picture because I don’t want to forget what I was feeling at that moment. The picture acts as an interface to a moment that otherwise would merely become a part of the collection of events that form a lifetime. The image places the memory in a chronology that otherwise would be lost. I have been photographing my surroundings and myself regularly for almost nine years. And I have been asking myself for just as long. What difference does it make if I take another picture of my own face, or that of my girlfriend Åsa? What does this constant photography give in return?]]></description>

While trying to fill my time with something other than learning to open doors with my feet, strains of the high school marching band lured me to my alma mater's Homecoming Game. Confronted by stands packed with cheering Mum devotees, I immediately realized an opportunity to not only reconnect with the optimism and energy of my own teenage mythology, but to deconstruct and document the Mum praxis.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The “Cuba: Campo Adentro” series is an accidental discovery in 2002 as I traveled west from the Havana hustle, searching for a short weekend break in the beautiful valley of Vinales, Pinar del Rio province. I attended a cockfight high in the hills and the next day I followed a campesino home and felt I had entered a museum diorama. I knew I must return and for the next several years I traveled several times each year to live and work with the campesinos and their families, who subsisted with no modern conveniences. ‘Campo Adentro’ is translated metaphorically as deep within the countryside. I had no intention to disturb life within el campo. Working from the raw, simple details, I set out to create out a poetic portrait of daily life of tobacco farmers and their families.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I began shooting ‘Days with my father’ about a year after my mother died. The purpose became clearer, as time progressed. It was to make a still film. An abstract assortment of linked recollections. My father’s stories, and how he told them. His eyes, when he was going to say something funny. His white hair, in the afternoon sun. I wanted to remember the personality that shone through the haze of his fading memory. And I wanted to revel in his humor, that had remained hidden for years in the strong shadow of parenthood. I wanted to record all of this, before he died. To document the love between us, and by reflection, the love we both had for my mother.]]></description>

His choice is to use his professional life as a photographer to get close. And by getting close in images he shows me the world and growing up of people that he is supposed to call 'the enemy'. He gives me hope with his portraits and even very literally in his words when I quote Natan Dvir:
