Boudha boredom…
May 23, 2008
..it’s a good thing. I haven’t done much. Not many pictures, not much Guumny (travelling/touring), not much of anything. Relaxation at it’s finest - waking up to tibetan gongs, horns, and chants at the neighboring monastery makes me vicariously on the path to enlightenment, right? its probably as close as I’ll ever be. Anywho, I [...]

Holi….
March 22, 2008
Or called the Festival of Color, it’s a holiday celebrated all over Nepal and India. Everyone stands on their roof and throws dyed water on any one down in the street or from roof to roof. Fortunately, my house has one of the higher roofs around, making me the champion of Holi (hence the crappy [...]
Lok Chitrakar – painter/all around nice guy.
March 22, 2008
Through working on this catalog I was introduced to Lok Chitrakar, one of the most established artists in Nepal for painting Paubhas. He’s a super chill dude, and his studio exudes peace (if peace is even possibly exuded). The kind of studio that has soft light coming through big windows with white drapes, a courtyard [...]

March 14, 2008
An interesting week, I found out that paying a program to place me in an internship is totally worthless and a waste of money. The Rising Nepal was a waste of time because they are jaded maoists, so I found myself my own internship at the Himalayan Times to cover the elections. I subsequently found [...]
Pauva Paintings.

This style of painting is what I am helping to promote for the National Heritage Society. All are invited, March 28 at the Kathmandu Guest House, 4:30pm. Be there or be square. This work is copyrighted by the artist, so dont steal it. My watermark is only there for that reason (and i dont know [...]
Street Kids of Kathmandu…
March 7, 2008
I’ve been working on a photo story on the street children of Katmandu, but, now, I quit. Because: a. I haven’t seen the kids I want to shoot for a while. B. I don’t know Nepali, making it impossible for any type of cooperation/coordination and I can’t afford/waste the time of a translator indefinitely. C. [...]
The West is not only a bully; we are a bad influence.
March 7, 2008
Shadib, my Nepali tutor, says “they wear the jeans, they wear the mini skirts and give their parents big headache, isn’t it?” (He probably didn’t say “isn’t it” in this case, but he certainly always does. It is this or that, eesn’t it.). “One day a young guy has one lady, and another day, another [...]
Lord Shiva’s Birthday…
March 7, 2008
In celebrations of Lord Shiva’s birthday Hindu’s get super crazy. Everyone congregates in a place called Pashupati, and smokes SOOOO much ganja. Holy men are just passing the silly stuff out, it’s a lot of fun. Then, sufficiently stoned, mobs of men chase around the crazy holy men, that are pretty much naked and smoking [...]

Bhoda – Tibetan neighborhood of Kathmandu
February 28, 2008
Because of the new hater mail, I refrained from relaying any stories about being mugged by monks, my conversations with a head monk about Leonardo Da Vinci, or how absolutely true the supposed cliché about the utter tranquility around these beautiful people is. I withheld these said stores because I feel this reader, having [...]
