About
I was conducting an intensive fieldwork project in the Himalayan region of Nepal. I taught a young monk English in exchange for a meal a day and unlimited tea from the monestary. There was a woman who cooked all the monks' meals who was just incredible, constantly laughing, smiling and warm. Incidently she had a bit of a drinking problem, and I think on this day was hurting a bit from the night before and the harsh sunlight of the day. Nonetheless I found the moment beautiful and I am glad to have captured it on film.
Welcome to Usefilm, Lauren. This is a terrific shot, evoked all sorts of ideas until I read the info you've provided. Pity it's not a bit larger - anyway, looking forward to more. It's always good to see film isn't dead. Regards, Gary
