Iindevu kunye namabele
Xa uPeter Beard wafota u-Fayel Tall oneminyaka eli-17 ubudala kufuphi neLake Rudolph eKenya ngo-1987, eli bhinqa liselula lase-Afrika lithi lalicinga ukuba akukho mntu uya kuze awubone lo mfanekiso. Kwiminyaka elishumi kamva, ngo-Novemba ngo-1997, ngelixa wayesebenza kwivenkile eseLos Angeles phakathi kwemodeli yemisebenzi kunye nokwenza izifundo, uNkosk Tall wafumana umnxeba osuka kumhlobo waseNew York owayebone umfanekiso wobukhulu bepowusta kwi window yeXesha ngoku ligalari kwi-SoHo. UNks Tall waya kuzibonela. Umfanekiso omncinci endiwubonileyo wawumkhulu, efestileni, watsho. Intliziyo yam yema, kwafuneka ndibambe umphefumlo.
Ngo-Novemba u-1998, wafaka isimangalo, ekhankanya ukhuphiswano olungenabulungisa kunye nokunyhashwa kwamalungelo akhe, ngokuchasene noMnumzana Beard, igalari kunye nomnini wegalari, uPeter Tunney, kwiNkundla yeSithili saseFederal eManhattan. Ayisiyomali malunga nemali, utshilo uNkskz. Tall, osebenza njengomamkeli zindwendwe kwindawo yokutyela eScharmann eWest Broadway. Kukho izinto ezithile ongazenziyo. Ligama lam, umzimba wam.
Ityala alikafiki enkundleni, kodwa nge-16 kaNovemba, amagqwetha kaNks Tall, uMnu Beard kunye noMnu Tunney bahlala phantsi kwinkomfa kumagumbi kaMantyi uHenry B. Pitman kwiNkundla yeSithili saseFederal. Ngokuka-Robert Hantman, elinye lamagqwetha kaNks. Tall, ityala limiselwe umhla wamashumi amathathu ananye kuJan.
Uthe uNksk Tall ucela i-15 ukuya kwi-25 yepesenti yento efunyenwe nguMnumzana Beard, kwaye uzakuyifumana kwixesha elizayo, ngokuthengisa ii-prints zomfanekiso, kunye ne- $ 50,000 yexesha lakhe. UNks Tall ubanga ukuba uMnu Beard kunye noMnu Tunney benze i-100,000 yeedola ngokuthengisa ii-prints. Ukwathi akangekhe afumane umsebenzi njengomzekelo eNew York ngenxa yempembelelo kaMnu Beard.
UMnu. Beard ubize inani leedola ezili-100,000. Ndiyoyika ukuba uxoke ngokupheleleyo, uxelele uMbonisi. UMnu Tunney uthe yena noMnu Beard bafumana phakathi kwe- $ 50,000 kunye ne- $ 80,000 ngokuthengisa ii-14 zemifanekiso. Asikuko ukwenza imali kuphela, sisebenzise imali, utshilo. UMnu Beard ugcina ukuba uNks Tall akazange abe nomsebenzi omninzi ngaphandle kwemifanekiso yakhe. Andizange ndisebenze ngokukhobokisayo komnye umntu ngaphandle kukaFayel, utshilo uMnu Beard. Ndim kuphela umntu omncedileyo. Unomntwana, ulahlekile yinkangeleko yakhe — uphelelwe lithemba.
Ndiyamcela ukuba enze ubulungisa nam, angandiphathi ngokungathi ndingumAfrika ongafundanga nongenambulelo, utshilo uNkskz. Tall.
Ipowusta yokuqhushumba kwifestile yegalari yayingesiyo okokuqala uNks. Tall wabona umfanekiso. Malunga neeveki ezintathu emva kokuba kuthathwe ifoto yeLake Rudolph, utshilo umhlobo ohlangane owayezise uNks. Tall kwifama kaMnu Beard yaseKenya wambonisa lo mfanekiso. Uthi lo mfanekiso wamenza wothuka, kodwa akazange axelele uMnu.
UNks Tall, owazalelwa eParis kwaye wakhulela eKenya, akazange asayine uxwebhu lokukhupha, kwaye ubanga ukuba wayengazi ngenjongo kaMnu Beard yokuthengisa ifoto okanye ukuyibonisa. Ndiwazi amalungelo am bonke ubomi bam ngenxa yesikhundla sikabawo, utshilo uNkskz. Tall. Utata wakhe ngugqirha wezilwanyana kunye nozakuzaku kuMbutho woBumbano lwe-Afrika kwiZiko laMazwe ngaMazwe leZilwanyana. Umalume wakhe, uMaki Tall, wayengunozakuzaku waseMaliya eWashington, D.C., kwiminyaka yoo-80. Waya kwisikolo sabucala saseFransi eKenya, ephethe ipasipoti enezopolitiko kwaye waya (kodwa akazange aphumelele) kwiYunivesithi yaseSalford eManchester, eNgilane.
U-Beard akazange acinge ukuba intombazana eneminyaka eyi-17 kwihlathi lase-Afrika ingafika eNew York izibone ibhencekile kwisitalato iBroome, utshilo, Mnu. Hantman. Kuyothusa ukuba umntu owakhe ikhondo e-Afrika ngoku uyakwenza oku. Uzama ukuxhaphaza abasetyhini abamele imbonakalo yabasetyhini eAfrika, kwaye akahlawuli ngayo.
Sazama ukumnceda. Ndiziva kakubi ngaye, unqwenela, utshilo uMnu Tunney. UPeter akaze azisayine iifom. Umile kwisiketi komnye umgxobhozo ozele ziingwenya. Ngaba ucinga ukuba unefom yokukhululwa?
Andizange ndifumane ukukhululwa kuye nawuphi na umntu. Andinguye usomashishini, ndikwicala lokuqonda, utshilo uMnumzana Beard uxelele uMbonisi. Ukukhutshwa konakalisa imeko yeefoto.
Ipowusta yenze umhlaba UNks Tall unxibelelwano ne-Elite Modeling Agency. Uthe akuba nomsindo malunga nefestile yegalari ngo-1997, uNkskz. Tall wathi, uMnu. Beard wammisela noMonique Pillard, umongameli wase-Elite, wammemela kwisidlo sangokuhlwa Sombulelo –wayekhona. U-Elite wandityikitya, kodwa wandithumela e-LA, kuba bendithetha ngokumangalela uPeter Beard, utshilo uNkskz. Tall.
UFayel akayekanga ukumelwa ngu-Elite, U-Nks Pillard uxelele I-Braganca. Ukuba bendinomsebenzi kuye, bendinokumfowunela. Ndicinga ukuba umfanekiso weendevu zakhe mhle kakhulu. Ndayibeka kwi-composite yakhe, kodwa andiphumelelanga kakhulu.
UNks Tall ubanga ukuba uNks. Pillard akazange amcele imvume yokusebenzisa ifoto yeLake Rudolph kwindawo yakhe. UNks Pillard akavumelani. Ifoto ndiyifumene kuFayel noPeter Beard, utshilo uNkskz. Pillard. Wayelapho kanye xa sayikhetha. Ucinga ukuba ngubani lo mntu? Unditsalela ematyaleni endingazi nto ngawo. Uhlekisa kwaphela!
Akunyanzelekanga ukuba ndibuze imvume kuye, ndihlawulele indibaniselwano, wongeze uNks. Pillard. Uthe umfanekiso weLake Rudolph ukwipotifoliyo kaNks Tall. Kutheni le nto angaba nomfanekiso kwincwadi yakhe ukuba umntu akanakusebenzisa kwikhadi lakhe elidityanisiweyo?
Into enomdla kukuba, uNkskz Tall kunye noMnu Beard bagcina ubudlelwane obunobungane kule minyaka idlulileyo, ubuncinci de wafaka amaphepha akhe enkundleni kunyaka ophelileyo. UPeter Beard uhlala endijonge, utshilo uNkskz. Ngo-1992, wamdubula eMontanauk, L.I., wamnika simahla. Umnumzana Tunney uthe u-Beard wazisa u-Nksz Tall kwi-Metropolitan Museum ye-Art Fashion Ball ngo-Disemba ka-1997. Oku bekuya kuba yinyanga emva kokuba u-Nksz Tall emile emva kokubona ipowusta yakhe. UNks Tall uphendule wathi wayeye ibhola ngenxa yezizathu zobungcali. Nokuba bendikhathazekile, bendisithi kum andikhalazi, utshilo. Ngelo xesha uNksk Tall wayengakhange afune ingcebiso kwezomthetho. Bendingafuni ukucaphukisa mntu, utshilo. Bathe sizakuthetha ngayo, yonke into izakuhoywa… bendilinde bona ukuba beze kum, ebiyinkohlakalo kakhulu.
Xa uMnu Tunney kunye noMnu Beard beza eLos Angeles ngo-Matshi 1998 ukubonisa umsebenzi kaMnu. Beard kwigalari kaDavid Fahey-Klein, UNks Tall uthi wayekhathazekile kuba abahlobo bakhe baseLos Angeles babona iLake Rudolph ifoto. Andizange ndize kuye nabani na ukuba ndicele imvume yokusebenzisa ifoto kulo mboniso, utshilo. Ndaphathwa ngokungathi andinguye lomntu ukufotweni.
Umnumzana Tunney uphendule wathi enyanisweni wenzela u-Ms Tall ubabalo, ngemvume yakhe, ngokuthumela amakhadi angama-500, ngeendleko zakhe, ukubhengeza umboniso wase Los Angeles.

Uthe ngoku uzakumelwa ngu-Joseph Tandet, A. Joseph Tandet inkampani yomthetho. Ziindaba kum ezi, uMnu. Hantman uxelele uMqwalaseli xa wayexelelwa ngesicwangciso sikaNks Tall sokutshintsha amagqwetha. Ayinangqondo.)
