Amazing! Stunning shots, Andreas!
Thanks for sharing them.
It always touches me that these people, despite their poverty and simple lives, express such a dignity and grace. Great!
I guess we, the Westerners, can learn a lot from them.

they all are from one place, around the Pashupathinath temple in Kathmandu. Many pilgrims came from India for the socalled 'Maha Shivaratri' and some stayed on for another week or two.
I hang out with them and once I had given out free prints people asked me to take their picture and started to pose. Since too many of my MF lens photos, above those of the 50/1.4 are badly focused and they expected results for the first I used my only AF lens, a Sigma 17-70. Once most of the requests had been met I again started to use my Taks, well actually only 3, the 50/1.4, 28/3.5 and a 105/2.8.
There are many stories I could tell and I have taken so many more photos than I uploaded to my flickr account, here some more as well:
the reaction of the boy, the first person who received prints ( taken with the AF Sigma: )
some more photos with the S-M-C 28mm f3.5:
with the S-M-C Takumar 50mm f1.4:
the first few are 'action' shots, here an AF lens would have helped, some are badly focused:

What a superb series! You really show us what a tourist can't see (because of the language). I like that woman doing strang positions  It's soooooo icnredible! It's like classic "katmandu temple pilgrims" but with an informal touch that can only be added by someone living there . Again, congratulations!

thank you everybody for looking.
I do carry, I believe, 14 lenses...but often I only take with me the 50/1.4 and 28/3.5, sometimes also a 105/2.8. really is enough, but I may want to complement it with a 17mm.
please see some more of my recent photos taken either with the S-M-C Takumar 50/1.4 or 28/3.5:
S-M-C Tak 28/3.5:
spinning:
Dinesh about to go to school:
a proud farmerwoman:
shoes stay outside:
at the Barber's:
temple bells:
50mm f1.4:
Rampriyedas, a 'Khade Baba', which menas he has vowed not to sit down orlie down for 14 years. He now has completed 2 years. He only eats fruits, vegetables and milk products and does not talk, he does communicate with gestures and write a note now and then. Spending some days with him is a challendge as it means sitting crossed legged for 12 to 14 hours a day. My knees really hurt then, but how to complain about it confronted with somebody who stands since 2 years?
stone inscriptions:
typical Nepalese foothills:
planting rice:
Rickshaws continue to be the main means of transport in many regions:
having fun an the banks of the Gandaki river:
and one of the third lens I usually carry, a Takumar 105/2.8, detail of a roof of a Devi temple:
as always there are many more at my flickr page, I hope you enjoy,
best greetings from Nepal,
Andreas

I only have two words: TOP CLASS !!
Most of these photos would belong rightly to Magnum archives.
But unfortunately I already hear the beat of marching drums: "tin soldiers and censors coming - four dead in Ohio..." 
P.S.
they are all excellent, but if I had to pick two, they would be the sabots and the barber shop - the latter being #1 and one of the best photos ever posted here!
