Sabina’s grandmother laughing
Kathmandu, May 2011
I first met Sabina with her friend Mamata when I took their photo back in 2002.
Walking the dirt road through the same neighborhood some nine years later, I heard "Jack!" from inside an open window. Sabina came out of the house, and I was brought to the garden behind the house to meet her extended family. I took a group photo of them all, as well as two of her grandmother—this one of her laughing, seen above, and the first one, seen below.
