I like to take pictures, but I'm not a good photgrapher because i don't care about aesthetics of the photos. When a I take to pictures i only think keeping the memory of either a moment or oject (as a flower or grafitti). This photo i take to my friend in our study tour.

We managed to have this study tour thanks to a government program that grants low-cost study tours to vulnerable schools.
