Matt Brandon and myself are excited for our next workshop. We announced Plateau Photo Tours annual Lhasa, Everest, Nepal Overland Tour and workshop a while back. 2012’s tour is rapidly filling up with only a few spots left! Last years tour was a ton of fun.

It gives me great pleasure to announce Plateau Photo Tours annual Lhasa, Everest, Nepal Overland Tour and workshop. Last years tour was a ton of fun. We continue to call this trip a ‘bucket-list’ trip because, well, you’re going to see some amazing things! If you are interested in what all the tour entails, please visit our…
Close to 360º pano of EBC. Click for larger view It’s hard to do Everest justice with a photo. The mountain is just too big, too unreal, and much too temperamental to simply hand out good images. My previous experiences with Everest only left me with memories of an annoying disappearing act – only seeing the summit ever…
“Going to the Mountains Is Going Home” – John Muir No – I’m not cutting corners. Not much happened for me on day 4. Infact, I took less than 100 pictures that day. Why? Well, part of leading a tour in central Tibet is the dirty work – the business side. Keeping our workmates happy…

Going from just above sea level to around 13,000 feet, coupled with landing in the famous Yarlung Valley surrounded by 20,000 foot peaks, literally takes ones breath away… mostly from lack of oxygen. Try to walk…
We are 6 days into Matt and I’s photo workshop – halfway to Mount Everest. Arguable the middle of nowhere (yet I’ve found internet). Tomorrow we get our first glimpse of Everest and the day after that we get to visit the mountain itself before we drop off the plateau onto the subcontinent. I have…
Though the circumstances and factual aspects of my claim are a bit hazy and all but confirmed. I do however stand by this statement – Coming with Matt Brandon and I in April might be your best chance to see an actual yeti in the wild… just don’t hold us to that claim. We will however…
