Really, if one thought of Everest as the local name, Chomolungma, Mother Goddess of the Earth, then this photograph would make sense to all who see it. I took this image of Everest looking very tiny above the vast glacier, which flows from it, to show that it isn't the mountainous peak, and the desire to climb it, that is the most important aspect of this region. It is the glacier and the water it creates, which flows down throughout the lands, all the way out to the Bay of Bengal, that we should revere. The glacier, which is born of Chomolungma, is critical, and gives life to so many. I enjoyed playing with this simple optical illusion to shift our perspective concerning the roof of our world, the height of the Himalaya. We should honor the water that flows from the world's highest point. Because of our current rate of global warming, and the premature melting of these great glaciers, it is no longer possible to capture this image, it no longer exists. This image of what was, is now extremely rare.This large photograph, 2' X 3' is a limited series of 108, the number of prayer beads on a Buddhist prayer mala. Archival and museum quality paper and printing utilized: Epson UltraChrome HDR pigmented inks, and Canson Infinity Photographique 310 gsm paper. Decorators, other sizes and prices available. Tibetan Blue should be in every setting where calm and creativity need to be encouraged. Artist's Proof #3.

This image in a series of 4, a sacred number in Tibet, was taken in the highest region of the Himalaya. Each of these 4 photographs was a gift, an unexpected image to appear, when I returned home and processed the film. All photgraphs were taken in the 1980's with Kodachrome 64, the film which records colors most like the human eye sees them. Studies and data have shown that the color blue can double creativity and productivity. It can also have a strong calming effect. I discovered these facts after putting together the Tibetan Blue Collection, when I read the best seller IMAGINE, by Jon Lehrer. However my selection of these blue images was purely instinctual and spiritual. Oxygen is a UV filter, and with the low O2 content at high altitude, with less filtering, I feel the blues resonate, and they shift my mind, they transport me.

I hold some world climbing and skiing records, and made the Olympic Biathlon Team, a combination of rifle marksmanship and cross country skiing. However I consider myself a writer/photographer/author, with about 20 non-fiction books out, for both children and adults. My passion is extreme photography, which shifts my mindset. I have made my way to very remote areas, to capture the essence of a place and it's people, and try to replicate this sense for my viewer.
