Hampi, India · December 2018
On the road to the temple, I photographed a family in the middle of the street. Six of them in a line, the tower behind them.
Then I showed the father the photo on the back of the camera. He leaned over the railing with two of the kids to look, and they loved it. That’s when I hit the part I couldn’t solve: no common language, no email, no way to send it.
They kept the moment. I kept the picture.
Back home, I bought an Instax printer. Since then, when I photograph someone on the road, I try to leave a print in their hands.
Almost eight years later, I’m sharing these for the first time.

A foto ficou comigo. Desde então, tento deixar uma com quem eu fotografo.
