text:

Around one o'clock I walk through the village with Chingai. I am hoping to find some women doing some kind of work which I could photograph but the village is empty and deserted, the only inhabitants are some children playing, a few old women on a platform, then there is the Ang's older daughter who is at home but she is not very attractive and I already have several photographs of her. Just to do something I photograph Chingai's boy with his hair loose. It falls far below his belt
