I Photograph Squirrels Playing In The Garden To Spread Some Joy

我拍摄在花园里玩耍的松鼠来传播快乐

My name is Niki Colemont. I’m 34 years old, living in Belgium in a village called Diepenbeek. I was born in Rwanda in 1986, just a few years before the genocide started.

我叫Niki Colemont。我今年34岁，住在比利时一个叫Diepenbeek的村庄。1986年，我出生在卢旺达，就在大屠杀开始的前几年。

When the Rwandan Genocide war began in 1990 my ante brought me and my sister to an orphanage for adoption. I was 4 years old and my sister 9 years old. I have never known my real parents my mother died while giving birth to me. My dad died in the war.

当1990年卢旺达种族灭绝战争开始时，我的赌注把我和我妹妹带到了一家孤儿院供人收养。我4岁，我姐姐9岁。我从来都不知道我的亲生父母——我母亲在生我的时候死了。我爸爸死于战争。

Now recently in 2019, I lost my sister she was only 38 years old. The moment she died it was like a piece of my past died with me. I miss her every day.

最近，在2019年，我失去了我的妹妹，她只有38岁。她死的那一刻，我过去的一部分就像和我一起死去了。我每天都想念她。

Currently, I take photos of squirrels in creative and entertaining poses in my girlfriend’s grandmother’s garden. I started doing it in 2016 with no formal education and I learned everything through trial and error. On my 30th birthday, I bought myself a tele-lens to use on my Nikon D5200 and a wildlife hide tent for observation.

目前，我在我女朋友祖母的花园里拍一些有创意的、有趣的松鼠照片。我从2016年开始做这项工作，没有接受过正规教育，我通过尝试和错误学习了一切。在我30岁生日的时候，我给自己买了一个远距镜头用在我的尼康D5200和一个野生动物隐藏帐篷观察。

Buying these 2 things opened up a new world full of opportunities. I started to build a natural setup for the squirrels and placed food on the setup each day. My brain was on fire and I started to get ideas—my goal was to get the squirrels into special poses without using Photoshop, thinking about things nobody else had done before.

购买这两样东西打开了一个充满机会的新世界。我开始为松鼠们建立一个自然的环境，并每天在这些环境中放置食物。我的大脑很活跃，我开始有了想法——我的目标是让松鼠不用Photoshop就能摆出特殊的姿势，想一些别人没有做过的事情。
