Kristen Ashburn: Heartrending pictures of AIDS

Prevodilac: Sandra Gojic Lektor: Ivana Korom

When I first arrived in beautiful Zimbabwe,

Kada sam prvi put stigla u prelepi Zimbabve,

it was difficult to understand that 35 percent of the population

bilo mi je teško razumeti da je 35 odsto populacije

is HIV positive.

HIV pozitivno.

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

Sve dok me ljudi nisu zvali u svoje domove,

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

nisam razumela 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 videla, sedeo je u njenom krilu.

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

On je siroče, jer su mu oba roditelja umrla od SIDE,

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

a njegova baka se brinula o njemu dok i on nije urmo od SIDE.

He liked to sit on her lap

Voleo je da sedi 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 je ustala da napravi čaj, stavila ga je u moje krilo

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

i ja nikada nisam osetila dete koje je toliko mršavo.

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

Pre nego što sam otišla, upitala sam ga da li mogu da mu donesem nešto.

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 mi 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 Džojs koja - na ovoj fotografiji ima 21.

Single mother, HIV positive.

Samohrana majka, HIV pozitivna,

I photographed her before and after

Fotografisala sam je pre i posle

the birth of her beautiful baby girl, Issa.

rođenja njene prelepe devojčice, Ise.

And I was last week walking on Lafayette Street in Manhattan

I prošle nedelje sam hodala Manhetnom kroz ulicu Lafajet

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

kada me je pozvala nepoznata žena,

but she called to tell me that Joyce had passed away

koja me zvala da mi kaže da je Džojs umrla,

at the age of 23.

u 23. godini.

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

Džojsina majka sada brine o njenoj devojčici,

like so many other Zimbabwean children

poput mnoge dece iz Zimbabvea

who've been orphaned by the epidemic.

koja su zbog epidemije ostala siročad.

So a few of the stories.

To su neke od priča.

With every picture,

Ali sa svakom fotografijom,

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 fotografije su iz Zimbabvea.

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

Kris Anderson: Kristen, hoćeš samo kratko da podeliš

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

sa nama svoju priču o tvom odlasku u Afriku?

Kirsten Ashburn: Mmm, gosh.

Kristen Ašburn; Hm, bože.

CA: Just --

KA: Samo -

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

KA: Ustvari, radila sam u to vreme, producirala

for a fashion photographer.

za jednog modnog fotografa.

And I was constantly reading the New York Times,

I stalno sam čitala "Njujork Tajms",

and stunned by the statistics, the numbers.

i bila zapanjena statistikom, brojevima.

It was just frightening.

Bilo je zastrašujuće.

So I quit my job

I tako sam dala otkaz

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

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

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

I prvo sam zapravo otišla u Bocvanu gde sam provela mesec dana -

this is in December 2000 --

to je bilo u decembru 2000. -

then went to Zimbabwe for a month and a half,

onda sam otišla u Zimbabve na mesec ipo,

and then went back again this March 2002

gde sam se vratila u martu ove godine, 2002.

for another month and a half in Zimbabwe.

na još mesec ipo.

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

KA: To je sjajna priča, hvala ti.

KB: Thanks for letting me show these.

KA: Hvala na prilici da je pokažem.
