Faces of Nepal




Nepalis are beautiful people...the smiling eyes of a rural farmer, the story-carrying wrinkles of an older woman, the joyful smile of a young mother, the ruddy cheeks of a small child. I find these images hard to resist. I also tend to resist capturing these images with my camera. Taking pictures of people always makes me feel invasive and way too touristy. This past week, I visited a few villages with one of MCC's partner organizations. During our visit, we had the chance to talk with some of the people who have participated in the work our partner organization is doing. I took this opportunity to snap some people pictures without feeling too invasive or touristy.

These people are Nepali, and I love them.
