Children and their toys
Italian photographer Gabriel Galimberti travels the world in search of adventure, good stories and interesting people. For his latest project, Toy Stories, he photographed various children from around the world next to their favorite toys. “All children are almost the same. They just want to play." But games vary from country to country. Galimberti found that children from wealthier countries were more greedy for their toys. “At first they didn’t even want me to touch their toys,” says the photographer. “And I needed more time for them to let me play with them. In poor countries, things were much easier. Even if the children there only had 2-3 toys, they didn't worry about them. In Africa, for example, children play outside only with friends, without toys.”
In fact, children can be happy playing anything, because the game is just a simulation of life situations, and the main help in it is imagination.
