Woke up at 5:00am and Bikash and I took a bus to _____ to where the Taru ethnic group live. There homes were decorated with many colors for the festival which made for an easy shoot. They also farm out in the fields and they were more than happy to let me document their land. For this I used backgrounds in the shade and reflected light onto them using Bikash to hold the reflector. The photos looked pretty artificial but nice none the less. After we met a Taru party member it was about 10:30am and time to go back to Biratnagar.
When we got back I took a tika from Bikash's sister -- on this day of Tihar all the men go to their sister's home and take a tika and handkerchief filled with treats. I did this, packed up my stuff at Barjeko and said goodbye to Davendra.
Again, back on the shitty bus to Kathmandu which was hell.
