I grew very fond of the children and decided to spend a week with them. My photographs portray more than just the children. They also focus on a host of environmental problems in urban areas such as water and air pollution, overpopulation, waste disposal, child labour, health issues and illegal housing in slums. I was very surprised to hear that I had won the Gold Prize. In June last year, a boy left his toy turtle in a garden.
Turtles are in extreme danger of becoming extinct.
