The kids selling food for pigeons on the Riverside, most people don't like them and find them annoying. But it’s fine! They have to live. Have you ever talked with them? Most people don't even talk to them. I’m hanging out with them, taking photos, printing them and passing it to them. And they remember me: ‘oh, he is coming, he is coming! Take a photo of me!’”</p><br><p>❤️ <strong>TIMELINE:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>11’ - Playing football at 4 years old and growing up willing to be professional</p><p>24’ - Football is a universal language</p><p>40’ - From random iPhone photos to being showcased by Instagram globally</p><p>56’ - Capturing the beauty of everyday life stories in Cambodia</p><p>73’ - Standing by the most vulnerable people</p><p>93’ - His secret?
