Faces of the Nepal Himalaya





Taking photos of people is often very sensitive, as some cultures believe that a photo taken steals the spirit in them. It's always important to ask before shooting. After many years of exposure to tourists, some children have learned that a photo is worth a piece of chocolate or a pen; adults might even ask for money in exchange.

Here are a few photos of Nepali who seemed eager to have their photos taken, perhaps learning too late that I had no chocolate! No harm done. Everyone was happy.
