Kathmandu is a town full of old buildings and history. The whole place feels dusty, like my grandmother’s attic. However as I was out shooting one day I came across this young boy and felt transported to modern times. He was more than willing to pose for my photo. The phrase “One of these things is not like the other” kept running through my head. He seemed so out of place. I wondered if I was in Queens or Nepal? It left me wondering if this was the direction of Nepal to come? With a sigh and a heavy heart, I continued on in the dust filled streets exploring the old buildings; sometimes modern is not always better.

Wonderful photos, Sherry. And I love Kathmandu…one of my favorite cities. I remember walking around my first evening there and feeling as if I’d taken a hallucinogen or something…sensory overload!
Heather – what a great way to describe Kathmandu – I totally agree!
