Princess of Turktuk

People · Camera

Between the blue of her dress and the redness of her cheeks...a beautiful girl from the village of Turkuk, wearing a robe of shame. She didn't want me to take a picture of her - and this is the case with many other girls - though, and just before we left the school where we met her, she invited me to take just one picture! -Although I did not tell her that I wanted to take a picture of her, I gave up before I even tried after seeing my friends’ attempts, all of which failed. Her cheeks turned red with embarrassment and she quickly ran away after she heard the sound of the camera. This was on the first day, right after we arrived in the village. I didn't even get to know its name!
