Travel

It started with a first flight out of Kathmandu. It hasn't really stopped.

Three places

Milky Way Mirror, Bolivia

When the salt floods, the galaxy shows up twice.

4,086 metres above sea level. Two centimetres of water over ten thousand square kilometres of salt. The horizon dissolves and you start questioning which way is up.

Revolution Square, Cuba

The cars still keep their time.

Eight days through Havana, Trinidad, and Viñales. Coffee strong enough to fold a spoon, music three storeys above the street, and a 1948 Chevrolet that nearly stalled the shoot.

Everest Base Camp, Nepal

From Kathmandu, the long way round.

The Khumbu valley at 5,364 metres, more than twenty years after a first flight out of Kathmandu. The camera is heavier now, the notebooks are stacked three-deep on the shelf, and the map has 117 countries on it.
