As a rule in my life, I never ask permission to take my portrait photos, or talk to the person. I just look at them 1st, and if they feel uncomfortable, I just don't...
This was the 1st time I saw this girl, and found her very interesting! I asked my MA film Students with me to talk to her, and after we met all her Family, we interviewd them, and both she and her wonderful Sister just followed us everywhere we went!
A fabulous story! I just wished I was a writer, and could write it, and the imaginary, very sad follow up!
Remember, everything in here was destroyed by the eruption of 2009, fortunately, without any human losses...
