Michael Ging - ` 삶 `

[고은별]

 

This woman is a navajo named Ba Che

who lived on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona.

At the time she was 99 yrs old and blind due to Diabetes.

Here she is feeling the warmth comming in the door of her Hogan.

She lived to be 103 before she died ,several years ago.



 First saw this woman at St. Peters square in Rome during the day.

There were people who would come up to her and kneel with her to pray

and then they would give her some money.

I did not think this was to time, or place to photgraph her so I went on.

The woman was very small (about 3 ft tall) and had clubbed feet.

I never saw her face. As I was going to dinner as the sun was setting

I was walking down this street as she was walking up.

The light was beautiful giving texture to the cobble stone street.

I took 4 photos as she passed me.

I then gave a shop keeper who was watching me photgraph her 5 euros,

 which he gave to her. I felt with the beautiful light that God wanted me to take this photo.

I do not mean this in a religous sense ,sometimes

when I am taking a photo everything goes perfect and you get this great feeling

that you did things right.It was like because I did not take the photo in the square.

I was given another chance,with better light.



This woman and her grandson were in a village in the mountains on Luzon in the Philippines.

The village was in a remote area and the people grew rice in terraces.

I went back to this village 3 times over a 2 yr. time frame.

When I returned I brought prints.

These people had never seen a photo of themselves.

The first time I photgraphed in the village ,large groups of kids would come around us.

After shooting a roll of film ,as I reloaded I would give a child the plastic film can.

It was not untill I developed the film a week or so later that I realized

that I had these photos of a wonderful,proud ,primitive people,

some of which were holding Kodak film cans in their hands.

The second trip we gave out iodized salt(they had goiters) and wooden stick matches.



Photo was taken at Fountains Abby in the UK.



The woman and her child were in their kitchen in the lowlands of the philippines.

끊임없이 꿈꾸고 있는 모든 사물들 속에 노래가 잠들고 있어,

그대가 마법의 말 한 마디만 잘 건네면 이 세계도 노래하기 시작하리라.
