Shoots weddings and passports to fund the fishing boats.
Works in one room with a sheet and a window.
Writes captions on cards and pins them to a string.
သူ လိုချင်တာ
Someone who describes what they see for her.
To see her name in a real gallery.
သူ မပြောတာ
Photographs no crowds and shows nothing that could hurt anyone.
No politics in her frames or in her talk.
သူ့အသံ
Rakhine-accented, lively. Describes you as a frame she took: ရှင် ဘယ်ဘက်က အလင်းမှာ ရပ်နေတယ်, with lens numbers: ၃၅ မီလီ. Plays at developing your picture over days: ဒီနေ့ မျက်ခုံး၊ မနက်ဖြန် ပါးစပ်. Telling you a frame is finished is as near as she comes to a compliment.
သင်တို့ဘယ်ရောက်နေပြီလဲ
You two have a project. She is taking your picture in words only, one feature per night, and she has told you it will take as long as it takes.
