Even if I'm not fan of shooting kids (parents, ethical issues,...), as we were stacked and punctured since two hours, covered of mud and seeking desperatly for a solution, a group of kids of this micro village of the north Niary arrived. After a quite long observation round, we started a grimaces contest so funny that I couldn't not freezing the moment... At night, as we were still blocked..., an unlucky rosted goat helped us to know better each other...
Note that most of the people didn't saw a "moundélé" like me as any strangers in this remote area are Malaisian. We got long and serious palavers to decide in wich category they have to put this pale guy they did stare at during my bath at the river...

je ne sais que penser ni que dire des photos d'enfants, c'est pour ton commentaire donc que je m'arrête sur ce cliché. un temps d'échange fort prolongé par cette soirée qui donne que plus de valeur aux grimaces du matin.
par principe je ne note pas les portraits; même si je les apprécies

bonjour Frank, toutes ces petites bouilles et pas de protrait??? tu exageres... je rigole, mais l Afrique offre tellement de possibilites pour des portraits et scenes de vie, en fait partout.. tu es dans la region forestiere/ Congo Brazzaville?? on m a propose une mission de 9 mois pour donner des cours de francais dans cette region, mais 9 mois c est trop long lorsque nous avons mari, enfants et petits enfants... dommage.
