About the Book
Standing on the peak of Kala Pattar in the Nepalese Himalaya, I looked through the view finder of a borrowed 35mm Film SLR, framed Everest and its neighbouring mountain, then pressed the shutter button. I had been using the camera on auto and semi-auto settings the entire trip. I had taken film with me but that hadn’t lasted long. So I was now using film brought from the tea shops along my mountain journey, most of it years out of date! It would be another few weeks before I would see the result from that press of a button.
Throughout my three week trip to Nepal, my joy of photography had grown, it helped being surrounded by the most stunning scenery I had ever seen. I couldn’t even tell if the photos I was taking were any good. When I finally saw the prints for the first time I was both shocked and amazed at the images I had taken. It was then that I realised I must learn and develop my photography skills.
This book is the result of 5 more years and the constant pressing of the little button on the top of my camera. It documents not only moments in time that I have captured, but journeys I have taken, both learning to be a better photographer and enjoying life with my wife to be, who patiently waits while I try and get that perfect shot!
Book One is not the first chapter in my photographic journey, but it is the most significant so far.
