I love the mountains and the outdoors, but my favorite thing about travelling (aside from eating exotic foods) is getting a chance to meet with people from different cultures around the world. Before leaving for Asia, I had planned on photographing landscapes, mountains, rivers, and ancient monasteries. However, after a few days of travelling through Tibet, I was really drawn to the people there.

In spite of living in relative poverty, the people of Tibet were friendly and open. They had a sense of humor about life that I was immediately inspired to photograph. The same held true for the people of Nepal. And although I was there for a relatively short time, I ended up returning home with hundreds of portraits of the people of the Himalayas.

Returning with all of these images made me feel like I had took something of value from the Himalayas without having given much back. While I was there I had the opportunity to visit a school for the blind built by Braille without Borders. It was amazing how little money it took to put a person through the school in Tibet. Equally amazing was just how much it could change a person’s life there. In a country like Tibet, a disabled person has few opportunities outside of begging.

My doctor here in Breckenridge had often told me about a clinic he had helped to build in the Langtang region of Nepal while he was there. And although I didn’t have time to travel there myself, I decided to donate the purchase price of the portraits I created to help benefit the school and the clinic he had built through Doctors to the World. The show, Faces of the Himalaya, has travelled to other galleries before finding its way back to Altitude Gallery this January, 2010. The sale of just a single print can put a student through the school for several months.

Asher’s Three Month Portraits

If you have been following my blog, you know that I started photographing Asher only a few hours after he was born at the hospital. I will be meeting with him and his parents several times over the course of his first year to make images for a ‘Baby’s First Year’ album I will put together for his parents.

Asher’s First Day

I got a call from Alex a few hours after Asher was born, and he invited me to their hospital room to get Asher’s very first baby photos. This will be an ongoing project that started with Heather’s pregnancy photos and will follow Asher through the first year of this life.

Heather and Alex Part 1

These are the first images from a 12 month project involving Heather and Alex and their child. Rather than just do a one time portrait session, I’ll be documenting the first year of the child’s life starting with last last weeks of pregnancy and finishing on his first birthday.

Update – the baby’s name is Asher
