前回(展示室49)と同じくマニラの旧市街を中心に歩いて、旧市街に暮らす人々を 撮った。ロハス通りの魚市場で子豚を丸焼きにして売る人、イントラムロスの路地で芋を売る人、キアポの露天マーケットで果物 を売る人。旧市街は今のマニラでは裕福な地区ではない。むしろ客観的にいえば、メガシティーマニラの貧困地区の一角にあると言ってもよいだろう。それでも 旧市街でみかけた人々や皆、やたらに明るい。カメラを向けるとまずは笑顔、そして思い思いのポーズ。写真を撮ったあとに「ありがとう!」と言われる、この くすぐったいような明るさ。「貧すれば鈍す」なんて言葉もあるが、マニラの旧市街では「貧すれど鈍せず」とでもいえようか。
I walked in the old part of Manila in succession to the previous set (Phto Gallery 49), and took photographs of people I came across - such as a vendor of roasted piglets near the Roxas Bourvard Fish Market, a potato vender in Intramuros and an open air fruit vendor. The old part of Manila is by no means a rich quarter. On the contrary, the old Manila is part of a poor quarters of the mega city Manila. Nonetheless, the people are all very, very cheerful. When I put up a camera, I saw smiles in my finder, and then various pose and posture. Sometimes, they said "Thank you!" before I said so.
