This photograph was made in November 2013 my last trip to Nepal. The old man is in his room at a leprosy centre. He had a large barren concrete room to himself with these big wooden doors. When I approached him and asked to take his picture he was crawling on the floor with his pants half way down. This is one of those moments where your not sure you should take any pictures. The man was ok with photography and allowed me to proceed. I thought it was important to document his life so I made this photograph.
