Caption: As a climber and photographer I'd be lying if I said that I didn't grow up dreaming of capturing incredible images of Mt Everest.
Steeped in culture and history the high mountains of Nepal are seemingly from another planet. This past February I had a chance to explore and photograph the Everest region from the air and on foot. These are some of my favorites.

Caption: The snow and cold weather was hard on our gear, the temperatures often dipped below -20 at night at our high camps, but the altitude was what my body noticed the most.
One night at 19,000' spent shivering in a tent was the worst night of 'sleep' I've ever had in my life.
