Children photograph their everyday life: Expectations vs Reality

Slide the pictures to see the difference before and after

After the photos were taken, the project curators Fyodor Telkov and Vladimir Serov, who taught the children to use cameras, showed them how to color the photos the way they want.

You can learn a lot about these kids from the far-flung Urals (Chernoistochinsk and Visim are both in Sverdlovsk region) simply by looking at the pictures before and after coloring. They clearly yearn for bright colors, blooming gardens, sun, sea and a touch of magic.
