Sisters, Ambika and Kopila
Kathmandu, 11 June 2011
With an old 2005 photo of Kopila and Ambika in my hand, I asked around the neighborhood and was able to find these two sisters again. Looking now, at first I thought Ambika was laughing in both photos, but it was Kopila in the older photo.

I ran across another photo taken on the porch of their family's house on the same day.
And another photo of their younger sisters, I believe.

One of the reasons I love this this photo is—notice the natural placement of everyones hands—how it wordlessly just tells you so much about their love for each other.
