Now through mid August my photos are on display at Cafe St Jorge in San Francisco’s Bernal Heights neighborhood, the second time they have hosted me. Seven total prints are on display – four of mountain scenes (Nepal, Lesotho, and Rocky Mountain National Park) and three of trees (Idaho, Nepal, California). →
Now through the end of the month, my photos are on display at Farley’s Coffee in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood. I have two collections on display: metal prints of the Palouse and gallery prints of trees, one of my favorite subjects. →

Espresso machine switched on, the microwave set to two minutes to cook my breakfast burrito. It’s somewhere in these moments that I snap out of my grogginess and get excited for what lies ahead.

Earlier this fall I was fortunate enough to take a trip through Nepal. While my dream was to do a trek in the area, for a few reasons that wasn’t in the cards this time, so instead I took more of a grand tour of the country. This ended up being great as I saw more of the country than I probably would have had I only trekked.

Below are a few lessons learned that may help in your own planning for a similar trip.
