Description
Kathmandu was a small town when I first visited. Twenty years later it had grown into a giant metropolis. One thing stayed the same, the pedicabs. Who knows, this could be the one I used on both visits.

People are not even after 30 years richer. A rickshaw to own means that of being able to feed the family. They earn their livelihood. A beautiful old vehicle, type: Self-construction

I'm going back a ways, but you've posted many travels, and also your beautiful black and white series, and I want to get some of each. In all your travel-shots, you have a number of journalistic shots, and journalism is just different from 'artistic' shots. I don't know if I have words here...but journalistic shots can be as artistic, I mean triumphantly so, as any others, but they have an immediacy that a lot of 'art' shots don't have. After 3 years with a camera, I'm only now beginning to do 'immediate' shots. I've been too trained in painting/drawing to even know how to do what you've done in a number of your shots. The shot has a tilt, and I really like it. The pedicab is the center of the image, but you've got so much else around it, and it all burgeons out from the cab. The building on our left (a temple, maybe) seems to be the end of a visual line, but you have all the other stuff on the right too...a lot of starting and stopping points, this shot. And lots of detail, and lots of natural decay and process (how nature changes stone, bricks, etc.) It's very alive with age and decay and human beauty and moments. We even see the growths on the roofs in the background...It's a very rich shot. And the repose of the drivers somehow feels like you, stopping to capture all these slices of life, or us, stopping to see. Gentle and finely done, and a very full slice of life. Really full.
