“I choose these two photos, due to their uniqueness. In one hand, they look very simple; on the other, they are sophisticated. These are the examples of how from a trifling thing you can make something valuable. All of them I took in the gallery in our city. First and second pictures made an impression on me. Among thousands of works, I chose these two, because they catch attention.... The third one reminds of the way my people used to live. In our history nomad people roamed from one place to another, because we were cattle breeders, and actually some of the best in the world.” -Out of Eden Learn student, MaliaTate, Aktau, Kazakhstan, ‘Taking Neighborhood Walks’

“Eso es un foto de una planta. Tomé el foto poniendo la cámara debajo de la planta. No se que tipo de planta es pero a mi me gusta como ve contra el azul del cielo. Pienso que ese foto representa mi barrio porque hay muchas plantas en todo mi barrio, y es muy bonito. Lo que a mi me gusta lo mas de todo en ese foto es que representa que puedes ver algo de un ángulo diferente y la cosa que ves es también muy diferente. // This is a photo of a tree that I took from holding the camera beneath the plant. I’m not sure what type of tree it is, but I like how it looks contrasted against the blue sky. I think this photo represents my neighborhood well because there are many plants throughout my neighborhood — it’s beautiful. My favorite part of the photo is that it shows how when you look at something from a different angle you can see the thing in a different way.” -Out of Eden Learn student, caballo-os, Atlanta, Georgia, United States, ‘Taking Neighborhood Walks’
