As part of his Artist Ambassador duties with the Save The Children Foundation, Lynn took a side trip to the Baglung area, which is located about 170 miles west of Kathmandu to bring healing and education through music to children in need. And since this is Nepal, that seemingly short distance required a 30 minute [...]

When your job is to look through a lens, it’s obvious that there is something between you and your subject. Be it a small piece of glass or the entire body of a camera, I am often aware of how distant a small machine makes me feel from that which I am attempting to capture.

On this last day with the children we talked about how to say good-bye before we left the hotel. We wanted to make it as easy as possible for them and also let them know we would be back. Little did we know how difficult it would also be for us. We were so busy [...]

We are one day from leaving and the experiences just don’t stop here. A few of us started early with a visit to Pashupati ,a truly  extraordinary temple. This is a holy site where only the most pious and well off Hindu’s go to cremate their loved one’s. The wealthier the deceased, the further up the [...]

I have come with a group of relatively affluent English speaking Westerners. None of us speak Nepali. None of us knows poverty. None of us are Hindu.They speak little [...]

It’s Sunday here, the children are in class and we have a day off. Lynn and Drew have flown off to Baglung to meet with Save the Children and check out their program services there. We made our way to the Monkey Temple in Kathmandu which got its name because of the ”holy” monkeys that live in [...]

We awoke to a picture perfect day here. Mild temperature’s and clear skies which afforded us an endless view of the mountains. We started the day with all the children. We gave them all mirrors and asked them to make different faces and then put all that to music too. Again, a wonderful song written [...]

The adventure continues….right out of a Le Carre novel or perhaps Kellerman. Our cab driver got lost looking for the rendezvous point with our bus after dinner and stopped the cab in the middle of the road, opened the door and left. Here we were, 2 sleeping children, Lynn and myself in the middle of [...]

We’re here! OK, so it just seemed like an epic journey to get here but actually, I was so busy trying to keep my 3 and 6 year old busy I almost didn’t notice. Pretty easy flight, a stop in Hong Kong for a swim and our last Starbucks for a while – although in [...]
