Manamaiju, Kathmandu, Friday, January 17th, 2003
Walking home one day through Manamaiju, I noticed of a house a bit off of the path, but partially-hidden behind a tall hedge of foliage. I investigated by taking a few steps off of the main path. There I met Mira, 9, her little brother Rabin, 8, and their friend Santoshi, 14.
You can tell that it’s January and the cold is still hiding in the air;
Santoshi wearing her winter coat over her kurta,
Mira with the flaps of her warm cholo over-shirt tied tight.
I love Rabin’s easy pose in this photo; he’s all business.
