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.


An angel making her way out the door leading inside the Nepali Baptist Church, Kathmandu.



Casual young men seen at a distance relaxing and observing their surroundings, a common Nepali practice. Pashupatinath, Nepal.


An elephant breeding ground worker prepares food for the Elephants and their youth, seen here through a bicycle rim. The Terai, Nepal.



A shopkeeper greets the dawn immediately after opening the metal door to her store. Kathmandu, Nepal.

Posing, a Nepali teen stands outside his family's home while his sister pauses in moment of curiosity. Besisahar, Nepal.
