March, 1990. I was at a market in Oradea, in a sunless spot with cement tables. It was quite cold outside, so few people were nearby. A “bade” (mountain peasant) had on the table, on broken sheet of magazines with naked women, two plucked hens, as naked as the women. I said to myself: “Dorel Găină (Gaină means hen in Romanian) is shooting naked hens on naked women.” I showed my enthusiasm to the man and I asked for permission to photograph the scene. He said “yes,” but then he changed his mind and said “no”. I did not take the picture because I did not want for the next photographers he would have met to be distrusted.
