Viens te faire photographier ! - a photo on Flickriver

            Varanasi (Inde) - Cette photo n’était pas prévue. Dans le bidonville de la Kharbuza, j’ai aperçu cette jeune femme aux vêtements colorés. Elle était qui seule, devant sa petite maison séparant des chapatis. La porte en bois était fermée et m’offrait un arrière plan assez neutre et pour le moins rustique. 

Je me suis approché. Elle m’a souri en guise d’approbation. J’ai pris une première photo. Je venais à peine de déclencher quand elle s’est adressée à moi en me faisant signe d’attendre ou d’arrêter. Je dois avouer que mon hindi est très limité et que je n’ai pas compris le sens de son propos. 
Elle a tourné la tête vers la porte et a crié quelque chose. Une seconde plus tard, la porte s’est ouverte laissant apparaitre ses deux jeunes garçons. J’ai compris alors qu’elle voulait que je les prenne en photo. 

Le plus jeune, intimidé par ma présence, n’avait pas l’intention d’obtempérer. Elle l’a pris par le bras pour le tirer vers l’extérieur. C’est là que j’ai déclenché. 
Pour lui faire plaisir, j’ai photographié une seconde fois ses enfants qui se tenaient raides comme des piquets. Pour moi cette ultime photo n’avait guère d’intérêt. Il n’en était pas de même pour elle. Je l’ai compris quand trois jours plus tard, je lui ai apporté le tirage. En la voyant porter cette  petite photo sur sa poitrine, j’ai compris que je venais de lui faire un beau cadeau.


Come and have your picture taken!

Varanasi (India) - This photo was not planned. In the Kharbuza slum, I saw this young woman in colorful clothes. She was alone, in front of her little house preparing chapatis. The wooden door was closed and gave me a fairly neutral and rustic background to say the least.
I got closer. She smiled at me in approval. I took a first photo. I had barely triggered when she addressed me, gesturing for me to wait or stop. I must admit that my Hindi is very limited and I did not understand the meaning of his point.
She turned her head towards the door and shouted something. A second later, the door opened to reveal her two young boys. I realized then that she wanted me to take a picture of them.
The youngest, intimidated by my presence. She took him by the arm to pull him out. This is where I triggered.
To make him happy, I took a second photograph of his children standing as stiff as stakes. For me this last photo was of little interest. It was not the same for her. I understood when three days later I brought him the printouts. Seeing her wearing this little photo on her chest, il realized that I had given her e nice gift.
