Kancha
Tupche, November 2002

In front of a teashop in Tupche. Out front there is a small truck-wide dirt road; and on the other side of the road, a canal of cold clear water flows.

On this day, I also took a photo of Kancha’s older sister Kanchi, fresh from school in her light blue shirt.

Here is Kancha’s didi (older sister) Kanchi, as she appears on my contact sheet of the negatives.

Bina and sisters
Manamaiju, Kathmandu, June 2011

On December 9th, 2002, I took a photo of Bina and her three siblings Rina, Rabi, and Nisha (see below).

In 2011, with a copy of the photo in my hand, I tried to find them again so that I might take a follow-up photo nine years later.

(In the above photo, I believe that's Nisha in the middle;
she was eight-years-old and at the bottom in the photo below)

I have this photo scanned somewhere, but I can't find it at the moment.
Instead, here is the 2002 photo as it appears on my contact sheet of the negatives.

In this photo, starting clockwise from the top, they are Rina, Rabi, Nisha, and Bina.

Update: Found the actual photo and added it below
