[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Collecting garbage in Kathmandu is a hands on experience. It is swept by women who will sweep you right into the pile with their brooms,if you are not quick. the small cart comes along to collect the piles of garbage.It is transferred to a pickup truck, then dumped, usually along or in a river. There is nowhere to put the garbage.

We feel well, any agitation and the abundance of life in this scene. Of course, also very well imagine the smell that emanates from these garbage...

The composition is good with the child in the foreground, which makes movement in the image. black and white gives a nice texture to the image.

A good picture,
Thx for sharing.
