(CBS News) NEW YORK — A Yemeni girl peers out over her neighborhood. A young Malaysian eats at her favorite restaurant. An Afghan boy cools himself on a hot summer day.

Seven years ago, 카지노 홍보 Danny Goldfield set out to take pictures of one kid from every country on earth.

“So far, I have photographed children from 169 countries, so I have 24 more to go,” Goldfield says.

But what’s interesting is that he didn’t travel around the world to shoot the pictures. He shot everything in New York City.

“To do the project, I traveled the world with my MetroCard,” he says.

The New York City subway card was his ticket to the city’s diverse neighborhoods.

The idea was sparked on a cross-country trip when Goldfield met Rana Singh Sodhi at an Arizona gas station. Sodhi’s brother had been murdered in a hate crime, gunned down in the days after the September 11 terror attacks.

“Instead of receding from the world, he did quite the opposite,” Goldfield says. “He bravely said to me that he was going to go out into the world and meet his neighbors.”

Goldfield was inspired to meet his own neighbors in a city of eight million where one in three is foreign born.

“The way I did it is fitting with Rana’s prescription, which is — I just started showing up at cultural organizations and churches and mosques and restaurants and hair braiding salons,” he says.
