Making Friends
Imadol, Nepal
January 6, 2018
A marching band was passing us by as our car made its way down this narrow street. I asked Nirmala if she could stop so I could jump out and grab a photo. I didn't realize my presence would create such a commotion. Everyone was surprised to see a white woman emerge from the car. As I was taking my photos, this new friend of mine came up to me and leaned on me to see what was in my lens view. I immediately switched my camera to a selfie mode and attempted to get a photo of the two of us. She backed away when she saw herself in the lens frame. Her image seemed to frighten her.
She called over to her friends who must have informed her that I was attempting to take a selfie because she cooperated with me when I attempted the shot again. As a matter of fact, she seemed to like the idea of taking a photo of the two of us.
