Nepal Portrait Collection

Name: Apple Salesman

Date: Fall 2012

Country: Nepal

Each afternoon we would cross paths: he with his bag of apples, me with my stack of papers and books from teaching. For 50 rupees, I could buy a handful of the oddest-shaped, best-tasting apples I’d ever had—small bites of sunshine in the middle of my day.

For months, he became a quiet part of my routine, a familiar smile and a moment of sweetness. Then one day, he was gone. The apple harvest had ended, and with it, our daily exchanges. I missed him more than I missed most men I had dated.

Apple Salesman is a portrait of those fleeting connections that sustain us—the ordinary faces and small rituals that leave an indelible mark on memory.
