Donkey Train, Nepali Highway, Manaslu Circuit
More than the places you go, it is hopefully the people you meet along the way, calling each one home, that leaves the greatest impression. For me, that has always been the true gift of travel: people, and the authentic interactions and conversations you keep with you from those journeys.
It is often on those same travels, and through the same interactions and experiences with others, that I find myself imagining just how easily our lives could be switched—that my life could be theirs, and theirs mine? That idea remains a constant source of fascination to me, and a key driver of my creative interest and work.

entry description
THIS is a Nepali highway. Suspension bridges dot the landscape of Nepal's Manaslu Circuit. They make life in such rural areas possible, and travels much easier for both residents and foreign trekkers alike. Donkeys and their keepers also are fixtures along these heights, bringing in food and basics.about the photographer
