Photographer & Storyteller
Capturing lives, chasing light
"जिन्दगीका अभावहरु टाल्दा टाल्दै रहरहरू च्यात्तिएको अनि खुसिहरु खर्च भएको पत्तै नपाएको एक यात्री" A traveller who, while making ends meet, didn't notice his dreams fraying and happiness slowly spent — yet he keeps moving, lens in hand.
Kathmandu, Nepal
