On the road again...

Here is a photograph I took of my home for the next couple of days.

I am in Las Vegas shooting a charity event, a wonderful opportunity to create great images and help others!

It is a large photographic print of a part of this planet that I have a great love for.

"Some years ago, I rented a helicopter and went from Kathmandu, Nepal to Mt. Everest Base camp. I had tea with the Lamas at the highest monastery there and saw the mountain of my dreams and took images.

As we turned back down valley to return to Kathmandu I saw the most spectacular blue distant huge mountain ridges in the distance that we would be passing and I shot from the Heli. The combination of our altitude (18,000 feet) and the clear day cause the color temperature to go very blue to the eye and on the film negative.

The result was a view of the Everest Valley we never see.

This is a fine art Giclee print on Museum matt Archival Hahnemuhle paper.

Shot with a Mamiya 7 on film, from Helicopter near Everest.

Last year my CENTRAL PARK print (see below) sold at this same auction and also sold again that week elsewhere for $9,500.
