Nepal 1982
Pictures taken in August 1982 in Nepal, mainly in the Kathmandu valley. In particular I spent some time in the village of Kirtipur documenting the way of life there. The Gai Jattra Spectators image is available as a signed print in return for donations for the DEC Nepal Earthquake appeal: please send a message if you would like to order.
