Tibetan protesters were pre-emptively arrested before the anniversary. I figured there would be some kind of demonstration so I went to the CDO office, police headquarters, and the main prison where the Tibetans are being held. No strikes today, but I told a few more people to look out for me and gave them my number (in those areas).
I went to a poem reading, organized by Seetashma's (from the UN) mother which was actually quite interesting. We went in there and it was really dark with just a few candles lit and a group of people gathered around listening.
That's pretty much it for today... it dawned on me today after listening to my interviews a few times that I need to get out of Kathmandu to get my shots. I need to get photos of certain ethnicities and the difficult terrain of Nepal which I'm quite happy to photograph. Oh god no, not natural landscapes!
Here's some things that Richard Regan mentioned that I'd like to try and illustrate:
*people living in the hill areas
*terai - the agricultural breadbasket
*difficult terrain
*malnutrition
*high mountains
*moving food by any means possible (aircraft, helicopter, yak, etc...)
*no compensation or to hold people accountable for their crimes
*poor nepali people
*laborer
*the country evolves (maybe stores selling the latest in technology)
*politically protest through other means
*the mid and far west
*men working day labor
*women managing the household, agriculture, fetching water
*drought
*as many pictures of the UN doing stuff
*secluded groups
*political parties
*madheshis
*ethnic groups
*tarhu, limbuans, janjatees (check spelling)
*individuals who live by a roadside
*student union
*mahendra hwy
*un negotiating... or people negotiating on the road
*nepalese are kind to foreigners
*unemployed youths
*7 plagues - weather, conflict, difficult terrain, political disturbances, global economic recession, load shedding, dependence on imports,
