curious & shy

this street-kid in varanasi, india was watching me for quite a while - a stranger sitting at the ghat far away from the tourist paths. communication was not possible. i showed her the pictures i had taken from other kids - she looked at them with great interest. then i asked her in sign language to take her picture - she agreed and just looked at me with this mix of curiosity and timidness.....
the next day when i gave her a print of the picture she answered with a great smile that will always be linked to this picture for me.
