Old Nepali Man Series
I was wandering through an old (what I thought to be abandoned) courtyard near Durbar Square in Kathmandu snapping pictures of ornately carved door frames and pillars, when across the way I spied this amazing old Nepali man. Everything about him screams awesome! He was dressed in fairly traditional clothing, especially his colorful cap, which is worn by just about every Nepali man over the age of 40. I love his cane, and his "Gold Star" brand running shoes, the only Nepali brand of cross trainers in existence. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a few photos of him from across the courtyard. He didn't notice me, and luckily I was able to capture him in a few different sitting positions. I feel very lucky to have happened upon this situation on the final day of a 33 day trip, a mere 13 hours before I was headed for the airport to depart for home!

Awesome photos! I like the background info. How's the season going? A little slow here but hopefully things will turn around soon. Later -Adam
