Pictures!
It took a long time, but I now have (most) of my pictures on-line here. I took something like 1500 photos, and at last count there were 1421 pictures available there. They are sorted by the camera they came from (I had two) and then chronologically, with labels where practical. The photos taken with my digital camera are labelled better because I had the time & inclination to do this. The film photos are as-is from the film scan CD I received, which means they are not rotated into their proper orientation if I took a vertical shot. Sorry.
The usual boilerplate applies: these are my photos, they are my property and I'd be unhappy if someone turned around and started using them for profit without my consent. In other words, please do not print or distribute the pictures unless I say it's okay. If you like something and would like to have a print, email me and I'll be happy to help. The photos taken on 35mm film can be printed to enormous size without quality issues, and some of these shots are spectacular. The scans don't do these photos justice.
If you were on the trek with me, or you think I'd go so far as to call you a "friend", then you're welcome to high-quality prints of whatever you like. In fact, I'll even do all the legwork involved in printing and framing. It would make me extatic to know that other people are enjoying my photography in their homes. So don't be shy.
Here are a few highlights from the Zanskar trek:
Lahaul Valley from the day-hike I did above our camp at Palamo
Our horse caravan on the way up the Shingo La
The Gumburajon, with the Himalaya Range in the distance (Kargyak valley)
Phuktal Gompa
A Room with a View (Stongey Gompa)
Singge Valley: Singge La is the saddle near the centre
The colours of Ladakh
Leh, with the Stok range in the background
The summit ridge of Stok Kangri. Zanskar Range & Himalaya Range in the background
Prayer flags on the summit of Stok Kangri
...this would be a bad place to fall...
(just above the Oh-Shit La, on the way out of Bear Valley)
This is merely a brief selection. There are more pictures. Some are better, some are worse. Have a look.
