[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Everyone in the village is related. How? Long ago a farmer had many kids. All his sons marry and stay there, they have sons. Their sons marry and stay, on and on, soon there is an entire village of relatives! As my freind's son would say, "it is the Nepali way". Simple life, with lots of time for smiles.

Hi Gloria,
So broad smiles! It's really great to offer us a slice of wide smiling Nepalis.Does the girl handle a Barbie doll???

I think its the same all over the third world, in all small villages. They are all relative one to the others.

Hi Gloria,

A good group portrait with excellent sharpness & a mix of both spontaneous & reserved smiles. Perhaps a slight shift to the right?

Great portrait, Gloria! The colors and expressions are priceless. I just wish those little girls had dolls with their own skin colors!

TFS,

Alli

P.S. How do you get so many strangers to pose for portraits?

This ia lovely group portrait Gloria, it's always nice to see some genuine joy from time to time. Thanks,
Best wishes
