these certainly are interesting, and a quite a different take from the "normal"... composition is challenging enough for me on a single image, to consider having to compose for 2 overlapping images on film is mindboggling for me!!

Scanning!!! i have not even started the developing !! .... scanning will take another month! shack lah!
 

finally got some scanning done, here are my humble shots with the Mamiya 7..

View from the rooftop of our guesthouse

This was the view that greeted us every morning, where our breakfast was served.
2 slices of toast, sunnyside up/scrambled eggs, and drainwater coffee every morning. yum.

Vibrant Thamel, Perpetual rush hour

For me, this scene sums up the perpetual state of activity on the streets of Thamel.
I can still vividly hear the chatter, constant horning from the traffic, and odd chimes of bells echoing all around.

Streetside Grooming


Young mother with sick child

We encountered this scene while strolling through one of the numerous temples which lined the streets of Kathmandu. While chatting with a local Nepalese who spoke some English, we learned that this young mother has been visiting this temple regularly, to pray for the recovery of her ailing child. Barely out of her teens, many of these young mothers can't afford medical help, and have no other option but rely on divine intervention.

Local kids outside a candy store


Hope you guys enjoy the images, will post more soon...
