A Newari man in Bhaktapur
I wonder how many stories might be behind this strong expression. Unfortunately there are many stories that remain to be seen …...
Because it was a special day…
I feel completely exhausted. It’s my first day in Nepal. I spent the morning and afternoon in a kind of mental trance, at the same time amazed with the scenery that unfolds before my eyes on this exotic stage right in front of...
One print for a smile
I stop at the main entrance of the Pushkar Lake. The visual spectacle of colored people (hundreds) entering and leaving the sacred gate has something cinematic about it. I have back pain. I see a place to sit by the door...
The beautiful stranger
Decorated camels, painted cows, giant wheels, cotton candy, sugarcane juice, typical handicrafts for sale, hawkers everywhere, music that I don´t understand the style, so loud is the sound, horns. There is a festivity atmosphere. I...

The Peace in Golden Temple
