So my photography business in Tsarasambo is booming…everyone
wants pictures all the time. Which is interesting to me because right now is
the “krizy” which is the time of year when no one has money for food. So people
are coming to my door asking for money, followed by people at my door asking
for pictures (which they pay for…) I don’t understand.
My biggest client base is teenage girls who walk by my house
on the way to middle school. And they’re nice and friendly and I like talking
to them. And I don’t mind taking their picture…But yesterday a group of girls
asked if I would go down the street to the rice paddy/watering
hole/laundry/bathing spot and take their picture there. I of course said yes, and we went down the
road. And before I could do anything, the girls were standing in their
underwear in the watering hole wanting me to take pictures of them. WHAT. OMG.
WHAT. I didn’t know what to do so I acted really embarrassed and ran away after
making up some excuse about my camera being dead. So that happened…Now when they come back to
ask if my camera is charged, I need an actual explanation for why I don’t want
to take those pictures.
I can only imagine what the talk in town would be…
