Description homme, rue, Paris (Dino, who should meet Louis )

AUG 8, 2007 - 07.16 PM

----

Dino is italian.
I don't speak italian.
Dino doesn't speak french.
But we talked together.

It wasn't the first time i saw Dino.
I didn't know his name before.
I knew where he used to live.
It was the first time we talked together.

Dino was sitting on a bench, with two big bags on his big belly, as usual.

Dino smokes a lot. Dino smoked all my cigarettes.
Dino told me about an old farm in Italy.
In Piedmont.
It was his grandfather's farm. After it was his father's farm. Now it's Dino's farm.

Dino travelled a lot. During many years.
Dino didn't go back to Piedmont so Dino wasn't not sure it was still his farm.

Dino loses a bit his memory.
Dino is old now.
He couldn't tell me the name of the place.
He told me he still knew the path to his farm.

Dino wanted to go back to Piedmont.
Dino asked me for the way to the train station.
I drew a map.
Dino told me that he had some money left.
Dino told me that he needed more for the travel.
He asked me for 30 euros.
I gave him 30 euros.

He told me "grazie".
I understood.
I asked him if he had enough money for the train.
Dino didn't know.
He told me that he would walk to Italy if not.

I bought some cigarettes too. For him and for me.
Dino smokes a lot. Me too.

Dino told me he had to go.
We said goodbye to each other.
Dino stood up, with his two big bags on his big belly, as usual.
We shaked hands.
We said goodbye again.

Dino went on his way.
With his two big bags on his big belly, as usual.
I went on mine.
I felt that i lost a friend.

When i came back here in Paris, after 15 days away, i searched Dino.
I know where he used to live.
I didn't find him.
I searched him during the last days.
I didn't find him.

I hope he reached Italy.
I hope he reached his farm.
I don't know where it is.
Dino loses his memory.
Dino couldn't tell me the name of the place.

I hope he's there now.

If somebody goes to Piedmont.
If somebody meets Dino.
In his farm.

Don't tell him of me.
Give him cigarettes.
If you don't smoke, buy some.

Dino smokes a lot.

That's very nice, dear. Thanks a lot. I was about to cry myself, which is quite unusual. This old man really moved me a lot.

I really appreciate that you like the little story too.
And i know for smoking... Of course, you're right .. but i'm not sure that Dino will quit!

Don't worry too much. Louis looked quite happy and if you find some ketchup in his beard, he surely had a meal, right?

tu as fai du bon boulot, on voit bien que tu as ressentie quelque chose avec cet homme.

tu exprimes ta generosité et ton envie de connaitre les gens. voila la vrai qualité d'un photographe, il ne doit pas faire la photo pour lui simplement mais car il s'interesse aux gens et qu'il a une emotion a transmettre.

j'aurai meme si ct possible vu le texte avant la photo.

le texte est tres beau, simple mais beau.
un texte beau est un texte inspiré.

bravo encore une fois.

Merci beaucoup... comme je ne sais pas trop quoi dire, il y a une phrase de Capa que j'aime bien :"Like people and let them know it."

C'est à peu près tout ce que je te trouve à dire...

Merci encore... surtout que je viens de voir arriver ton journal, je n'y crois pas!

turn-the-paradise-on In reply to FerdydurkeZabelin [2007-08-26 20:02:06 +0000 UTC]

haha



bha c le genre de photos que j'aime, inspirée qui recherche pas forcement a repondre a une demande.
tu as faites cette photo pour le plaisir de faire un portrait mais aussi car il y a une relle emotion derriere.

un portrait sans emotions, n'est qu'a moitié un portrait, le tien est donc entierement un portrait par sa definition propre.

Un portrait est : une œuvre picturale, sculpturale, photographique, cinématographique, télévisuelle, radiophonique ou littéraire à visée descriptive représentant une personne ou une chose réelle ou fictive, d'un point de vue physique ou psychologique.

tu fais donc un portrait reel d'un point de vue physique ET psychologique.

bref, finis les fleurs pour aujourd'hui^^



see u!

This is such a lovely story to go behind the picture. I hope he reaches his farm too.

And the picture is brilliant. I quite like how sharp it is, and the contrast. Nicely done!
