Two small children sleeping on the sidewalks of Kathmandu, Nepal in 2014.

I came across a mother sleeping with her children on the ground, surrounded by flies, noise and clouds of dust from the ongoing traffic. To pass through, I had to step over their heads. At that moment, I snapped one photograph. I was too shaken to think about more shots to get a perfect composition. I left them sleeping, like peaceful angels.

It's an interesting shot, but it doesn't really seem ethical to take shots of children without permission.

Great shot of Kathmandu streets! But maybe it makes the country look poorer than it is.
