200 Faces Exhibition

My image, 'Bajai', is to be exhibited over the coming months in 200 Faces, a portrait exhibition organised by The Photographic Angle.

The exhibition will tour London, Birmingham, Swindon, Bristol and more starting on May 26.

I haven't seen the other work yet but am really looking forward checking it out.  I love looking at and photographing faces so with 200 of them to choose from it can't go wrong!

'Bajai' means Grandmother in Nepali. I met this beautiful Bajai in a side street tea shop in Patan, Nepal.  Despite my limited Nepali and her non-existent English, we shared a very pleasant half hour or so enjoying sweet milky chiya together.  She was amazed but unfazed by my digital camera and posed happily and boldly, eyes twinkling, before we went our separate ways.
