Wednesday 30 March 2011: One photo....
Wandering around with a camera means that kids frequently come up and ask for you to take their photograph....usually after they've exhausted the litany of requests...'give me chocolate'...'give me $5'....'give me a pen' .
In truth, I don't usually mind the requests, as it tends to be a means of communicating. Once you get to know the Nepali language you also realise that the phrase 'give me' isn't them being impolite...its just a literal translation of the Nepali, which doesn't have please or thank you in it as a matter of course.
The beauty of a digital camera is (a) you can show the kids, (and today their grandparents too) straight away and (b) you can delete the photo later with impunity...
But... I really liked this shot....hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil (more or less)...
It wasn't posed, beyond me asking them to squat rather than stand...
