NEPAL: People & Places Photo Gallery by Manuel Libres Librodo Jr. at pbase.com

NEPAL: People & Places

There are people and places that we will always remember.
Nepal and its people are surely on top of my list right now.
I CAME with a lot of apprehensions...
I SAW a place throbbing with vigour, color and life...
I was CONQUERED by the charm of its people.

Ive never been to Nepal but having an adopted son from Nepal made me curious of the place. Only then to realize that it is such a beautiful place to visit in the near future. Your pictures make love its people and my adopted son even more. Nepal's magnificent mountains and panoramic view burns a desire in my heart that for whatever cause and by all means I should see or be in the place. Thank you for being so true in your photos...It's so realistic! God bless you!

Manuel my friend, Astounding images. You are truly blessed with the photographer's eye! Thank you for sharing! Cheers, thechebb www.pbase.com/thechebb

anne		03-Dec-2005 17:33
If photos of this quality do not make it into a book, I question what does. Having travelled widely and have taken some good pictures (or so I thought until I saw these images) I have astounded by these photos. You must feel dam proud when you look at them and realize you made them!

Ratree Sarasree		02-Dec-2005 13:14

Guest		02-Dec-2005 00:59
A wonderful collection of people shots... they all seem at ease... that to me is the epitome of good portrait photography.

arminb		01-Dec-2005 12:34

Hi Manny, I've just got a link to your gallery. You always take good portraits! Sorry for your camera lost in taxi last week. Have you try to contact the radio program (2-3 stations FM91 , FM96, FM100) for the lost? Hope to see those wonderful pictures. Oh (Lijiang trip)

nomada		22-Nov-2005 20:59
Stunning collection of portraits! Superb work!

Very beautiful gallery. Both portraits and street life snaps are so full of life and colours. Looking forward to more photos in this gallery.

Neil Shapiro		17-Nov-2005 04:09
Wow, ever picture a masterpiece. There must be a secret or two you can share! Have you ever written a tutorial on your approach to people shots? On DPC or elsewhere? I hope you do if you don't, because I'm going to read it ten times!

Manuel Libres Librodo Jr.		16-Nov-2005 15:20

Robert Socha		04-Nov-2005 03:24
Manny, I'm glad I joined Pbase rather than just DPC because I get to see so much more of your work. If at all possible, you're getting even better.

Guest		01-Nov-2005 20:05
One more extraordinary gallery of a very personal and sensitive view of these people. In some of them it almost seems as if you had somehow captured a slice of their souls. Terrific work.

Jose Paulo Andrade		01-Nov-2005 18:59
Excelent photos. Very good portraits!

Paul Teixeira		01-Nov-2005 16:58
