A father & 2 sons



A shot taken in a remote mountainous village in Nepal.

There is something about their eyes looking into you so innocently, yet conveying a sense of helplessness.

The father requested to take a look at our SLR camera (the so-called new technology to them though the camera was already 6 years old), while the sons just extended their hands to us for money (bad habit risen from the increasing tourism). We willingly handed over the camera to the father to view, though we did not give the kids money but sweets that we carried along the trekking journey. The kids did make some noise initially however still happily took the sweets, and even gave us a big smile upon receiving them.
