Kristen Ashburn: Heartrending pictures of AIDS

Prevoditelj: Bojan Hodap Recezent: Tilen Pigac - EFZG

When I first arrived in beautiful Zimbabwe,

Kada sam prvi put stigla u prelijepi Zimbabwe

it was difficult to understand that 35 percent of the population

bilo je teško razumjeti da je 35 posto populacije

is HIV positive.

HIV pozitivno.

It really wasn't until I was invited to the homes of people

Sve dok me ljudi nisu pozvali u svoje domove

that I started to understand the human toll of the epidemic.

nisam razumjela ljudske žrtve ove epidemije.

For instance, this is Herbert with his grandmother.

Na primer, ovo je Herbert sa svojom bakom.

When I first met him, he was sitting on his grandmother's lap.

Kada sam ga prvi put vidjela, sjedio je u njenom krilu.

He has been orphaned, as both of his parents died of AIDS,

On je siroče, oba su mu roditelja umrla od AIDS-a,

and his grandmother took care of him until he too died of AIDS.

a njegova baka se brinula o njemu dok i on nije umro od AIDS-a.

He liked to sit on her lap

Volio je sjediti u njenom krilu

because he said that it was painful for him to lie in his own bed.

jer, kako je rekao, bilo mu je bolno ležati u svom krevetu.

When she got up to make tea, she placed him in my own lap

Kada se ustala da napravi čaj, stavila ga je u moje krilo

and I had never felt a child that was that emaciated.

a ja nikada nisam osjetila dijete koje je toliko mršavo.

Before I left, I actually asked him if I could get him something.

Prije nego što sam otišla, upitala sam ga da li mu mogu nešto donijeti.

I thought he would ask for a toy, or candy,

Mislila sam da će tražiti igračku ili slatkiš,

and he asked me for slippers,

a on me je tražio papuče,

because he said that his feet were cold.

jer su mu noge bile hladne.

This is Joyce who's -- in this picture -- 21.

Ovo je Joyce koja na ovoj slici ima 21 godinu.

Single mother, HIV positive.

Samohrana majka, HIV pozitivna.

I photographed her before and after

Slikala sam je prije i poslije

the birth of her beautiful baby girl, Issa.

rođenja njezine prekrasne djevojčice, Isse.

And I was last week walking on Lafayette Street in Manhattan

Prošlog tjedna sam hodala Manhattanom,Lafayatte ulicom,

and got a call from a woman who I didn't know,

kada me nazvala nepoznata žena,

but she called to tell me that Joyce had passed away

a zvala je da mi kaže kako je Joyce umrla

at the age of 23.

u dobi od 23 godine.

Joyce's mother is now taking care of her daughter,

Sada se o njenoj kćeri brine njena majka,

like so many other Zimbabwean children

poput mnogo djece iz Zimbabwea

who've been orphaned by the epidemic.

koja su ostala bez roditelja zbog epidemije.

So a few of the stories.

To su neke od priča.

With every picture,

Ali sa svakom slikom

there are individuals who have full lives

tu su i pojedinci koji imaju ispunjen život

and stories that deserve to be told.

i priče koje zaslužuju da se ispričaju.

All these pictures are from Zimbabwe.

Sve ove slike su iz Zimbabwea.

Chris Anderson: Kirsten, will you just take one minute,

Chris Anderson: Kirsten hoćeš li samo na kratko

just to tell your own story of how you got to Africa?

ispričati nam svoju priču kako si dospjela u Afriku?

Kirsten Ashburn: Mmm, gosh.

Kirsten Ashburn: Hm, Bože.

CA: Just --

Chris Anderson: Samo

KA: Actually, I was working at the time, doing production

Kirsten Ashburn: Zapravo, radila sam u to vrijeme, producirala

for a fashion photographer.

za jednog modnog fotografa.

And I was constantly reading the New York Times,

I stalno sam čitala New York Times,

and stunned by the statistics, the numbers.

i bila zapanjena statistikom, brojevima.

It was just frightening.

To je bilo zastrašujuće.

So I quit my job

Zato sam dala otkaz

and decided that that's the subject that I wanted to tackle.

i odlučila da to bude tema s kojom ću se uhvatiti u koštac.

And I first actually went to Botswana, where I spent a month --

I prvo sam zapravo otišla u Botswanu gdje sam provela mjesec dana

this is in December 2000 --

to je bilo u prosincu 2000 -

then went to Zimbabwe for a month and a half,

onda sam otišla u Zimbabwe na mjesec i pol,

and then went back again this March 2002

kamo sam se vratila u Ožujku ove godine, 2002

for another month and a half in Zimbabwe.

na još mjesec i pol dana u Zimbabwe.

CA: That's an amazing story, thank you.

CA: To je sjajna priča, hvala ti.

KB: Thanks for letting me show these.

KB: Hvala na prilici da je ispričam -
