This week challenge : Everyday Life
This picture was taken in San Juan Chamula, samll town on the north-west slopes of San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico, but what it conveys can be see throughout the whole country : indigenous children and young ladies are in the streets all day long, every day, trying to sell their home-made goodies to tourists and locals alike.
Raul was my eye that day; he’s got a great one (a much better one than myself most of the time), he loves taking portraits and is quick at it. Thank him for this beautiful shot.

Cette photo a été prise à San Juan Chamula, petit village sur les flancs nord-ouest de San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexique, mais ce dont elle parle se voit un peu partout dans le pays : enfants et jeunes femmes des tribus indigènes arpentent les rues toute la journée, tous les jours, pour vendre leur artisanat fait main-fait maison aux locaux comme aux touristes.
Ce jour-là, Raul fut mes yeux; il en a un très bon avec un appareil photo (un bien meilleur que le mien en général), il adore faire des portraits et est très vif pour les prendre. C’est lui que je dois remercier pour ce cliché.

Tomamos esta foto en San Juan Chamula, pueblito al noroeste de San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, México, pero lo que muestra se puede ver en cualquier parte del país : niños y señoritas indigenas van y vienen en las calles todo el día, todos los días, para vender su artesania a los turistas tan bien como a los ciudadanos.
Aquel día, Raul fue mi ojo; tiene uno muy bueno con una cámara (uno mucho mejor que el mio la mayoría del tiempo), le encata sacar retratos y les salen muy bien. Le agradesco por esta foto.

Les Petits Pas de Juls 
This person looks like an adult and a child.
They see and live so much of life in their little village away from everything; have so much in their heart and so little in their hands; you learn a lot from just watching them and even more if you get to spend time with the communities.
« So much in their heart and so little in their hands » – great summation of so many communities.
Beautiful. Very beautiful…
