so it is day 4 of the photo/painting workshop which i have been co hosting. for those who i havent told, im co leading a 16 day art workshop which you should check out. www.internationalartworkshops.com

I serendipitously met this woman from England who currently lives in Kathmandu. She and I clicked and she just happened to be looking for someone to teach photography. Its working well so far! We've been cruising around the city with camera and sketch book in hand.
so as i was walking home today i saw a disturbing sight... a young teenage boy was just sitting in a pile of trash, eating raw meat straight off the bone. another boy was beside him in an oversized coat, ragged pants and what looked like a pitch fork in hand. they were both completly crazy. the guy with his pitch fork was running around trying to gain control over this other boy, just knawing at raw meat and eating anything he could gets his hands on. it was awful to see. dogs were barking which caused them to eventually run away down the dusty streets. minutes later they were gone and then a cow came along to take its seat in the pile of trash.
this is the sad reality of kathmandu at times.
