Busy mother with baby under her wing

Busy mother with baby under her wing
Manamaiju, Kathmandu 2003

Walking home one afternoon, I ran across this woman taking in the family's laundry.
I love the cloth that holds the baby; it’s like she’s wrapped her son up in a piece of star-filled night.

2011: With a freshly-printed copy of the original photo in hand,
I was able to find the mother and son again to take this photo eight years later.

Update: I recently ran across this photo that I took of them looking at the old photo.
