RE: A Stroll with a 70-300mm in Old Pokhara, Nepal. People, Old Brick Walls, and Carved Wood

The whole introvert trying to avoid loud people thing is so real especially when you just want a quiet walk to take pictures of old buildings and end up having to talk to excited locals anyway. That old bazaar area looks like a hidden gem since its actually for the people living there and not just a bunch of gift shops trying to sell just to tourists. Its funny how you go out looking to shoot architecture and end up with kids swarming you for pictures anyway because holding a giant camera lens pretty much makes you a magnet for attention on the street. Thx for sharing ✌️

I am sometimes very deep in this state, very vulnerable. But Nepal is quite soft at this - people allow you to be alone but don't mind being photographed. So... I like :) Grateful those insane kids woke up my interest in street photography and ended my "cocoon period", lol.

a hidden gem

Yes, it is. Most people stay in the tourist part and many believe it is the central part of the city, so the old town is safe from the destructive influence of tourism.
