Spaces of Humanity

A brief rundown of my photography of Nepal:
My college career began as a cross cultural ministry major in pursuit of the traveling the world to reach people with the Gospel message. I met an amazing friend along the way and her name is Kamana. Seen below with myself, in Sarangkot, Nepal with the back drop of the Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre of the Annapurna range:

A native Nepali of Kathmandu, she started her undergrad at Grand Canyon where we shared our different ideas of faith, culture, and aspirations of the future. As the story goes, I left GCU and two years later she informed me about visiting her family in Nepal. Filled with anticipation, I could barely gather myself after she informed me that I was invited to go along with her and her friends. In the future posts I will show just a bit of my life-changing experience.

To start of is my attempt to capture people with definitive relationship between their expression and their surroundings.

Opening Remarks

Hello,

My name is John Rosner and I am a photographer currently working and living in Albuquerque, NM. After relocating for Farmington, NM, I found a position with Sarah Eastwood and Eastbrook Studios as a photographer/ graphic artist. Since then my career has shifted into a higher gear and I'm finding an incredibly ability to grow and expand my creativity. I am currently pursuing travel/ photojournalism as my secondary and more personal avenue for exhibiting the way I see things. In the near future I will to be posting images and accompining words that capture my interests, both from the work I do for Sarah and my own projects. I look forward to see you soon.
Carpe Diem,
John Rosner
