Traveling to the desert, I stumbled upon a camp of gypsies on their way from Sistan to find low paid work in Khorasan. Opposite to traditional Iranian nomads, these people are characterized by their poverty, toughness and at times immoral demeanor. They allowed me to take photographs fo a few minutes and I focussed on capturing the living conditions of the many children in this camp. Small work-worn hands, ragged shoes and plastic patches on tents tell the story of their lost childhood.
