Photo 34: Capturing Funny Faces

When we cannot communicate with words, we rely on our facial expressions and hand gestures. Without saying a word, he noticed me raising my camera. Just as I press the shutter, he made a funny face to joke with me. And just before he could make another funny face, I was fast enough to catch him off guard and took a photo of his straight face. After finished walking down the street in Antananarivo, Madagascar, I felt like I had just made many friends, though it was the first time ever seeing them.


不會法語,也不懂土話,與路邊的小販,只是手勢丶表情的溝通。沒有跟這大叔說一句話,他看我的樣子並手上的相機,知道我把鏡頭對著他,就在我要按下快門的時候,裝作這個樣子,跟我開玩笑,我也把握機會,在他沒有趕得及扮第二個滑稽瞼時,把他正正經經的收入鏡頭。這樣從街頭走到街尾,好像見過很多朋友似的。
