Impression
July 2014 · Portrait
Our vehicles stopped to rest after travelling hundreds of kilometres. On the road, we spotted several Tibetans, both adults and children. Among them, a mother and daughter caught my attention.
It was cold, and the little girl had a shawl on. Her eyes were looking at me. She was also aware that I was watching her.
I could not speak the language, so I asked for permission to photograph them through a local guide.
When I saw several Tibetans nodding, it seemed that the local guide had succeeded.
The little girl naturally leaned closer to her mother.
From the look in her eyes, I guessed that she was probably confused about why an uncle was pointing his camera at her.
At this time, a cold wind was blowing, lifting her hair. The surroundings became colder.
She leaned closer to her mother and grabbed her mother's shirt with her little hand.
“In a few years, will she remember what happened today? If so, what kind of impression would I leave on her?”
I hurriedly captured the scene.
I wondered, "In a few years, will she remember what happened today? If so, what kind of impression would I leave on her?"
I may never be able to find the answer.
What do you think?
