While on assignment for National Geographic I traveled over the 20,000' Nangpa La, the highest trade pass on earth, with some of the last, great, Tibetan yak caravans carrying salt. This glaciated route was both dangerous and gorgeous. Many Buddhist devotees have slipped over the Nangpa La to make their way through Nepal into India to be with their beloved Dalai Lama. Some have been stopped dead by the bullets of the Chinese Army, enroute. I was amused when I skied over the Nangpa La, as the Chinese soldiers chased me while they were on foot with only pistols. As a former Olympic Biathlete (a combination of cross country skiing and rifle marksmanship) I knew they could never catch me on skis, and with pistols, not rifles, they'd never be close enough to get off a shot. This large photograph, 2' X 3' is a limited series of 108, the number of beads on a Tibetan prayer mala. Archival and museum quality paper and printing used: Epson UltraChrome HDR pigmented inks, and Canson Infinity Baryta 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, and unexpected image to appear, when I returned home and processed the film. All photographs 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, 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.
