The bulk of her enormous platform shoes pressed hard on the ridges around the green terraces. Her exaggerated heels gave a heavy impression of a rhino’s foot. A low-cut, sleeveless blouse half wrapped her slim body. A skirt that fl ared from her hips fl irted with her partially naked legs in the warm breeze. She moved steadily from one fi eld to the other, though her swaying steps looked to be in danger. Every time her arm swung freely in the air, dozens of silver rings on her wrist clinked musically. One hand kept a delicate balance while the other held a mini fi lm camera. She took pictures of everyone but herself till she used up the one and only roll of fi lm. All the pictures were taken on a bridge or rocks, along the riverside or roadside, in front of a wall or a massive pumpkin vine, outside a pigsty, over terraces, under a pear tree, before some fl owers, in the wild bushes, and in the kale plot.
