On assignment for National Geographic I went to the remote Himalaya to cover the ancient salt trade over the world's highest trade pass, Nangpa La, set at 20,000' between Nepal and Tibet. This collection of photographs cannot be replicated as this traditional trade no longer exists, the Chinese have shut down the Nangpa La, and these long yak caravans will never be seen again. They have vanished. I was inspired to capture this way of life before it was gone forever. I feel these ancient cultures have so much more to teach us, than we have to teach them.

As I made my way up the Thame Valley I came across this universal theme. A mother was leaning out the window telling her daughter to put on her sweater because it was cold out. It didn't matter that there was no glass in the window of a house made from stone and mud with flat rocks as a roof and mats laid over to let the smoke from the fire inside to escape. It didn't matter that the animal in the yard was not a cat or dog, but a yak. This scene plays out all over the world. A mother calling to her child to take care. It's one of those moments when we realize we are one human family celebrating life on earth.

These photographs were shot in film, Kodachrome 64, and are very rare indeed. 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.

View Profile

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.
