Flowers by the Sacred Cow

Create a Gai Jatra greeting card from the attached photo: me in traditional Newari dress in the foreground of the Kathmandu procession, a cow decorated with marigold garlands walking beside me, old brick temples and carved wooden windows behind. Keep my face unchanged and warm. Soft monsoon-afternoon light, rich reds and saffron. Add the caption [greeting, for example Happy Gai Jatra], spelled exactly, with a Nepali version beneath. Vertical 9:16.

Walking beside a garlanded cow is me, from the attached photo, through the narrow old streets of Kathmandu during the Gai Jatra procession, wearing traditional Newari dress. My face stays exactly as it is in the photo. Documentary style, as if shot on a 35mm lens: red brick, carved timber windows, onlookers and marigold petals on the stones, grey monsoon sky giving soft even light. Calm, respectful mood. Vertical 9:16.

Sharp in the foreground, me from the attached photo in traditional Newari dress during Gai Jatra, while masked dancers in bright costumes perform and blur behind me on an old Kathmandu square. Keep my face recognisable and cheerful. Terracotta temples, drums, hanging garlands, warm afternoon light with a hint of dust. Shallow depth of field like an 85mm lens, rich colour, festive and respectful. Vertical 9:16.

Make a picture of me, from the attached photo, leaning at an intricately carved wooden Newari window, watching the Gai Jatra procession pass in the street below, wearing traditional dress. Keep my face exactly unchanged, curious and smiling. Dark warm timber frame around me, bright street with garlanded cow and drummers slightly blurred below, brick facades opposite, soft daylight on my face. Vertical 9:16.

Create an editorial portrait of me from the attached photo, standing outside an old Kathmandu temple with tiered roofs, in traditional Newari clothing, hands relaxed. My face stays unchanged and natural. Behind me the Gai Jatra procession is soft and blurred: flags, garlands, a decorated cow. Late golden light on weathered brick and carved wood, shallow focus like an 85mm portrait lens, earthy reds and ochres. Vertical 9:16.
