Gilberto & Anna 2/100

Having photographed Cedric, I thought it would be nice to find someone else to shoot. Then i saw Gilberto and Anna, they were sitting on the sidewalk of the main plaza. I walked to them and said hi, I didn't got any response and they just stared at me. I got a little nervous and asked: Speak English? Gilberto immediately said they speak spanish. I told them about the project and they agreed to let me take pictures. The difficult part was the conversation, they weren't a very talkative couple so i made kind of an interview: Gilberto and Anna are from Cuba, Gilberto has 30 years living in Mexico and Anna just 5 Months. For some stupid reason i asked if Anna was Gilberto's sister, Anna saw me and said she was his wife (I kinda messed up ) but Gilberto saved me and said she was his youngest daughter, which caused Anna to laugh. Took the pictures, I know, the framing is just bad (Cut Gilberto's hands off the picture) but i really liked this one because of Anna's smile. Thanked them and I keep searching for one last stranger before returning home. Después de haber fotografiado a Cedric, pensé que no estaría mal buscar a alguien más que fotografiar. Entonces ví a Gilberto y Anna, estaban sentados en la banqueta del zocalo frente a uno de los portales, me acerqué a saludarlos, no respondieron nada y solo se me quedaron viendo, entonces nervioso pregunté: Speak english? Inmediatamente Gilberto me dijo que sí hablaban español. Les comenté acerca del proyecto y accedieron a que les tomara fotos. La parte díficil fue la plática, la mayor parte estuvieron serios y al final fue algo así como una entrevista: Gilberto y Anna son originarios de Cuba, Gilberto lleva 30 años viviendo en México y Anna solo 5 meses. Cuando me dieron sus nombres lo acompañaron del mismo apellido, a lo que estupidamente pregunté si Anna era hermana de Gilberto, Anna me vió y me di que era su esposa, luego Gilberto me salvó y dijo que era su hija menor, lo cual provocó una risa en Anna. Tomé las fotos, que no estoy del todo contento, porque descuide el encuadre en ésta, pero al final la publico, porque pude alcanzar a capturar la sonrisa de Anna. Les agradecí y seguí en busca de un último desconocido antes de regresar a casa. This picture is #2 in my 100 strangers project.
