but I often take a break from looking at medical cases and check out
some of your terrific photos. For time your images carry mentally to all

My niece who is 11 years old and I are "pen pals" and email each other
every day. We both have a big travel bug itching to escape so we have
chosen to do a "wishbook" of the places we want to see. Every day we
alternate who gets to choose a country and then we have to do a bit of
research and pick some things we want to see while we "visit". She has
begged me a couple of times to turn this pretend thing into a reality
someday. Perhaps she'll see some day that while I adore getting these
emails and finding places to drool over; part of this is a hidden
education so she appreciates the world and its people as much as I do.
Nepal was our country of the day. I started off looking for pictures
of Monkey Temple and came across your site. Fabulous!

I was looking closely at the "2006 Clean Air Calendar" I got

knew you -- he's in Montreal now, faculty at McGill.
Anyhow -- just a hello from a local Mudder you may have
crossed paths with. Always nice to hear of one of us pursuing what they
love.
Cheers,

Comments: Your trek into Nepal brought us back
to 1989 when my wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary
with a 30-day stay in Nepal. We did the Khumbu trek through Lukla
as well as a Chitwan adventure. The photos you took of Lukla indicate
how much the area has developed. We landed on a dirt strip with
a burned out hulk of a Twin Otter sitting at the end of the runway.
Not a reassuring way to start off the trek!!! Your photos brought
back so many images of Nepal. I’m astounded by the development of
Namche and Lukla. Thanks for the memories.

Comments: Good day, I am making my church's photo
directory and I would like permission to use your fabulous "Sleeping
Giant" and "Taranaki Sunset" pictures as a background for my chucrh
members digital pictures. This is what I do: I take aperson or family's
protrait and then remove the background. Then I take a picture of
a landscape and place the person or family on that landscape, which
makes it look like the person went on vacation, and this many of
them can not afford. Since I recently bought a digital camera, I
do not have enough backgrounds to provide one for each family. I
will print about 60 copies and it will be distributed at no cost.
You really have a talent to discover and capture beauty. Thank you
very much and have a blessed day. By the way, you can email me your
prayer requests if you have any.

Comments: I am a co-author on an scientific article
a group of us are preparing to submit to Frontiers in Ecology and
the Environment (http://www.frontiersinecology.org/). Our article
is about returning salmon providing a source of nutrients to streams
and terrestrial ecosystems in Washington and Oregon, and some of
the complex issues around this. We've been wanting to include a
picture that shows some animal moving salmon from streams into the
surrounding forest, and your picture would be perfect for that since
it shows a salmon in a tree. Would you consider allowing us to submit
your picture with our article? We will of course give you full credit
in the picture legend. If you like, we can send you a draft of the
manuscript for your consideration. Please let us know if you might
be willing. Thanks very much for your consideration of this issue.

Comments: My name is Christian Balaceanu, my greatest
hobby are Himalayan Range. I have studied Everest Region Solo Khumbu for
9 years. I'm a faithfull boy, I believe in Chomolugma, Sagarmatha
or Myolangsangma. For me Everest is my father and Chomolugma is
my mother. I bought a lot of books to study Khumbu, what I know
is that thing the villages are beautiful; You were from Namche Bazar
to Syamboche from there you saw all Khumbu Valley, from Everest
View Hotel you saw most sacred mountain Khumbila, at base of this
mountain exist most beautiful villages: Khunde and Khumjung, from
there you saw Ama Dablam, Kantega and Thamserku. You started to
go to Thyangboche, the way was that to Mong village and from there
you went to Phunki Thenge at base of that hill, from Phunki you
went to Tengboche, from Tengboche or Thyangboche you saw Nuptse,
Everest and Lhotse face. To go in Kalapathar you went to Pangboche
and Dingboche, from Dinboche you saw the north side of Ama Dablam.
From Dingboche you started to Lobuje, Pheriche and Gorak Shep; from
this villages you saw the Nuptse peaks. From Gorak Shep you were
in the summit od Kalapathar peak at base of Pumori, from there you
saw Everest, South Col, Lhotse, Nuptse, Lho La, and Chagatse. This
is a proof how much I studied Khumbu. I live in Bucharest, Romania.
Please to send me on my mail this pictures at more big resolution
to print this on A4 on photo paper. It is for my soul, I will not
use this for any things, is for me, please to believe me when I
saw the pictures I cried. I'm a very sensitive boy because I love
this mountains from all my soul. I you will send me the pictures
at more resolution please to send me at 2 mega for every picture.
With all my respects and lots thanks, Yours faithfull, Christian

of photos with us, I am sorry, but I'm laid off right now, or I'd
love to order some. It was important that I tell you that it's so
rare for a photographer to share their photos in anything higher
than 400-500 size, you gave me enough to see what the picture was
about. By the way, are you from the Pacific NW? You kept coming
back to Mt. Rainier, so I thought... I'm from Tacoma, WA, and am
lucky enough to recognize many of the images you photographed. Thank
you
