Subject: Football Match<p/> Comment: With my customer in mind I captured many images of the crowds behind banners. Most looked into the camera but this crowd were more interested in the football. Subject: Old Man<p/> Comment: On a busy day I estimate there were 600 people at the village. On final day there must have been 2000. Subject: River crossing<p/> Comment: Every day dozens of people crossed a river to reach the Festival. The bridge was an extra 20 minuets walk so in effect this was a short cut. The baby's asleep? Subject: Day Dreaming<p/> Comment: This boy is surrounded by people it's only the crop that isolates this boy. A football match being played out in front of him. What was he thinking? One of my favourite Nepal images Subject: Shop Keeper<p/> Comment: With limited indoor options I had little chance to create moody images like this one. Captured in a small stone shop one of the few low key shots, my favourite style of portrait! Subject: Buffalo Head<p/> Comment: A boy washes the head of a Buffalo which had just been slaughtered. Subject: Runny nose<p/> Comment: The school wall was often used as a background. This boy was in the cue for the medical team Subject: Dry Feet<p/> Arms linked these men crossed the river several times to ferry people across it. You can see the force of the water here. I only saw one accident Subject: White Shirt<p/> Comment: The school wall and the white shirt make this a high key image. Subject: Namaste !<p/> Comment: This man was delighted to have his portrait taken. You can see more images of him in the Hands and Feet gallery Subject: This girl appeared every day... she always had a huge smile. Often she carried her sister on her back. Biggest smile in Kavre Subject: Bad eyes<p/> Comment: Many of the older people had very poor eyesight. This mans pupils were cloudy and like many others found it difficult to see his image on the camera. Subject: Crucifix<p/> Comment: Three men for stability and linked like a crucifix. This old lady did not open her eyes until she arrived on dry land. She was terrified. Next time you cross a road think of this picture Subject: Topi Hat<p/> Comment: Man wearing the traditional Nepalese hat the Topi Subject: Nepalese Ladies<p/> Comment: Dressed in there best clothing these two ladies were waiting to see the medical team Subject: School shirt<p/> Comment: You will see these blue shirts everywhere in Nepal. Standard for school. This boy along with his sister and father all had striking eyes. Subject: Cook<p/> Comment: Six cooks fed us over the five days. All the meals ware excellent. This man was squatting on the kitchen floor making an apple pie. I love the lighting here. Subject: Three boys<p/> Comment: UAP ltd built two schools in 2007 something they can be very proud of. The villager's appreciation was apparent Subject: Old Man<p/> Comment: Even though this is a still image I do think you get a sense of the power of the River from it. I spent hours watching these river crossings. Subject: Tiny girl<p/> This girl clung to her mother most of the time I saw them most days. She was tiny. Subject: Rain hat<p/> Comment: It had been raining hard and the sun had just come out. This girl had a small cloth on her head to protect her from the rain. Subject: Big Smile<p/> Comment: the people of Kavre have very little. There smiles however very rich. The vast majority seemed so happy. The football tournament brought people together from a large area and was a huge local event. Subject: Krishna Sapkota<p/> Comment: This boy stood out as he wore a whistle around his neck. He would often carry my camera bag. Subject: Three Men<p/> Comment: These men were stood watching Nepalese dancing. Lots of drama here Subject: Old Lady<p/> Comment: As with most of the villagers a big smile was virtually guaranteed Subject: Broken Teeth<p/> Comment: This man kept his mouth tight shut as I photographed him. I had seen his teeth and I encouraged him to smile and after about ten shots he obliged. Subject: Bare feet<p/> Comment: most of the small children wore no shoes. Subject: Big Scar<p/> Comment: This man had pale skin and a huge scar on his forehead. He looks like he could be quite mean but he was very pleasant. Subject: School building<p/> Comment: We walked for an hour from Kavre to the bus for our return journey. We were shown this school by the head master before leaving. This was the last image I took before we left. Subject: Different world<p/> Comment: My nephew suffered the same problem as this little girl. His eye was corrected with surgery! I suspect this youngster will not be so lucky.
