When I first arrived in beautiful Zimbabwe,
0
0
3000
وقتی برای نخستين بار به كشور زيبای زيمبابوه رفتم،
00:15
it was difficult to understand that 35 percent of the population
1
3000
5000
درك اين مساله كه سی و پنج درصد از مردم اين كشور
00:20
is HIV positive.
2
8000
2000
اچ آی وی مثبت هستند برايم دشوار بود.
00:23
It really wasn't until I was invited to the homes of people
3
11000
4000
وضع به همين منوال بود تا اينكه به خانه‌های مردم دعوت شدم
00:27
that I started to understand the human toll of the epidemic.
4
15000
5000
و كم كم ضايعه انسانی همه‌گير [اپيدمی] را درك كردم.
00:32
For instance, this is Herbert with his grandmother.
5
20000
4000
به عنوان مثال، اين هربرت است به همراه مادربزرگش.
00:36
When I first met him, he was sitting on his grandmother's lap.
6
24000
4000
وقتی نخستين بار او را ديدم، او روی پای مادربزرگش نشسته بود.
00:40
He has been orphaned, as both of his parents died of AIDS,
7
28000
3000
او از پدر و مادر يتيم شده، چون هر دو تا از ايدز جان باختند.
00:43
and his grandmother took care of him until he too died of AIDS.
8
31000
4000
و مادربزرگش از او مراقبت می كرد تا زمانی كه وی [هربرت] نيز از ايدز جان باخت.
00:47
He liked to sit on her lap
9
35000
2000
او دوست داشت كه روی پای مادربزرگش بنشيند
00:49
because he said that it was painful for him to lie in his own bed.
10
37000
5000
چون می گفت كه خوابيدن روی تختش برايش دردناك است.
00:54
When she got up to make tea, she placed him in my own lap
11
42000
4000
وقتی مادربزرگش برای درست كردن چای بلند شد او را در آغوش من گذاشت
00:58
and I had never felt a child that was that emaciated.
12
46000
6000
و من هرگز كودكی را كه اين چنين تكيده و لاغر باشد لمس نكرده بودم.
01:05
Before I left, I actually asked him if I could get him something.
13
53000
4000
قبل از اينكه از آنجا بروم، از او پرسيدم كه آيا چيزی می خواهد برايش بيارم؟
01:09
I thought he would ask for a toy, or candy,
14
57000
2000
فكر می كردم چيزی مثل يك اسباب‌بازی يا شكلات بخواهد،
01:11
and he asked me for slippers,
15
59000
3000
اما او از من كفش راحتی خواست،
01:14
because he said that his feet were cold.
16
62000
3000
چون می گفت پاهايش سرد هستند.
01:17
This is Joyce who's -- in this picture -- 21.
17
65000
3000
اين جويس است -- در اين تصوير -- او ۲۱ ساله است.
01:20
Single mother, HIV positive.
18
68000
3000
يك مادر مجرد و اچ آی وی مثبت.
01:23
I photographed her before and after
19
71000
2000
من از او قبل و بعد از
01:25
the birth of her beautiful baby girl, Issa.
20
73000
3000
تولد نوزاد زيبايش، آيسا، عكس گرفتم.
01:28
And I was last week walking on Lafayette Street in Manhattan
21
76000
3000
و هفته قبل داشتم در خيابان لافايت در منهتن قدم می زدم
01:31
and got a call from a woman who I didn't know,
22
79000
3000
كه از طرف زنی كه نمی شناختمش يك تماس تلفنی داشتم،
01:34
but she called to tell me that Joyce had passed away
23
82000
3000
او زنگ زده بود كه به من بگويد جويس از دنيا رفته است
01:37
at the age of 23.
24
85000
2000
در سن ۲۳ سالگی.
01:39
Joyce's mother is now taking care of her daughter,
25
87000
3000
مادر جويس اكنون از دختر وی مراقبت می كند،
01:42
like so many other Zimbabwean children
26
90000
2000
مثل بسياری ديگر از كودكان زيمبابوه‌ای
01:44
who've been orphaned by the epidemic.
27
92000
2000
كه با همه‌گيری ايدز والدين خويش را از دست داده‌اند.
01:46
So a few of the stories.
28
94000
2000
اينها چند تا از اون داستانها بودند.
01:48
With every picture,
29
96000
2000
اما در هر عكسی،
01:50
there are individuals who have full lives
30
98000
5000
افرادی هستند كه زندگی كامل
01:55
and stories that deserve to be told.
31
103000
2000
و داستانهايی دارند كه شايسته نقل شدن است.
01:57
All these pictures are from Zimbabwe.
32
105000
3000
همه اين عكس‌ها از زيمبابوه است.
03:42
Chris Anderson: Kirsten, will you just take one minute,
33
210000
2000
كريس آندرسون: كريستن ممكنه يك دقيقه وقتت رو به ما بدی،
03:44
just to tell your own story of how you got to Africa?
34
212000
5000
و داستان خودت را برای ما تعريف كنی كه چطور شد به آفريقا رفتی؟
03:49
Kirsten Ashburn: Mmm, gosh.
35
217000
1000
كريستن اشبورن: خوب، خدايا.
03:50
CA: Just --
36
218000
1000
كريس اندرسون: فقط --
03:51
KA: Actually, I was working at the time, doing production
37
219000
4000
كريستن اشبورن: در واقع، در آن زمان من روی
03:55
for a fashion photographer.
38
223000
2000
عكاسی تبليغاتی مدل كار می كردم.
03:57
And I was constantly reading the New York Times,
39
225000
3000
و دائما نيويورك تايمز را می خواندم،
04:00
and stunned by the statistics, the numbers.
40
228000
4000
و از آمار و ارقام متحير شده بودم.
04:04
It was just frightening.
41
232000
2000
وحشتناك بود.
04:06
So I quit my job
42
234000
2000
لذا كارم را ترك كردم
04:08
and decided that that's the subject that I wanted to tackle.
43
236000
3000
و تصميم گرفتم كه اين موضوع كاری است كه می خواهم انجام بدم.
04:12
And I first actually went to Botswana, where I spent a month --
44
240000
4000
و ابتدا به بتسوانا (Botswana) رفتم و يك ماه آنجا بودم --
04:16
this is in December 2000 --
45
244000
2000
آن موقع دسامبر 2000 بود --
04:18
then went to Zimbabwe for a month and a half,
46
246000
3000
بعد به مدت يك ماه و نيم به زيمبابوه رفتم،
04:21
and then went back again this March 2002
47
249000
3000
و بعد در ماه مارچ سال 2002
04:24
for another month and a half in Zimbabwe.
48
252000
3000
برای يك ماه و نيم ديگر به زيمبابوه برگشتم.
04:27
CA: That's an amazing story, thank you.
49
255000
2000
كريس اندرسون: داستان جالبی بود، متشكرم.
04:29
KB: Thanks for letting me show these.
50
257000
2000
كريستن اشبورن: متشكرم كه به من اجازه داديد اينها را نشان بدهم.

Why you should listen
Kristen Ashburn's poignant photographs bring us into close contact with individuals in the midst of enormous hardship -- giving a human face to struggles that much of the world knows only as statistics and blurbs on the news. She has photographed the people of Iraq a year after the U.S. invasion, Jewish settlers in Gaza, suicide bombers, the penal system in Russia, victims of tuberculosis and the aftermath of the tsunami in Sri Lanka and Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. One of her more recent works, BLOODLINE: AIDS and Family, looked at the human impact of AIDS in Africa.
Her unflinching photographs from the Middle East, Europe, and Africa have appeared in many publications including The New Yorker, TIME, Newsweek, and Life. She has won numerous awards, including the NPPA's Best of Photojournalism Award and two World Press Photo prizes.
