<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">About Toshi Kazama</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">When New York-based Japanese </span>photographer Toshi Kazama went to his first photo session of a young American on death row he expected to see a monster.  That ‘monster’ turned out to be a normal-looking child with extremely limited intelligence.  At the end of the session, Kazama hugged him. That changed my life forever”.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Kazama has now dedicated his life to the abolition of the death penalty.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"To me the death penalty is you and I killing a human being. I don’t want to kill a human being with my own hand. Do you?”</p>
