Sunday

Today there is the festival of cultures in the big street just behind my house (it means parades and music, beers and caipi to go ...)...it also means I woke up because of the noise of the people: the street is packed so they walk through mine for a shortcut...not such a big deal though...but I fell asleep at eight in the morning so I needed some more hours of sleep probably...and I have to work...
I escaped from the my neighbourhood, I fought in the first metro I took, over-crowded because of the festival...
But in the second one, I found my seat...It is around 5 in the afternoon...my stomach reminded me we had no food since the day before (it actually started some forms of protest since few days ago...I guess that if I do not change, he will strike for a day at least)...so I told him we were on the way to have some food...
So I was thinking about this, about the shitty day and the thoughts as usual when a girl, twenty years old probably looked at me...she had a very original way of dressing, she probably reminded me a sweet rabbit - you know the two big teeth coming out of the upper lip...and big good eyes...the metro is travelling and she gets straight my direction, she has a camera who looks like a marine rifle...she sits in front of me and asks in German: "I want to take pictures of you. I study photography and blah blah.."
I said that it was OK for me, I had no force to say no and no reason as well, probably... but the funny thing is that she said: "Please, I want you as you were two minutes before". To me it meant: "Hey, please look desperate again..."
Its been the second time somebody asked me for portraits...the first time I was in a pub and this man wanted me to shoot two self portraits...a month ago probably...this guy lives out of his job...
Seems like my sadness is a charming subject for photographers...
I wonder how the picture look like...Ill never know...but I am getting used to these ignorance about things I would like to know...

So it seems this language gap is a bigger problem than I expected...not just for me...but for some people who read the last posts...Ill think about it and Ill make up my own version soon, hopefully...
