Seared with Reality.  Fieldwork in Photography in Nepal.

These photographs are integral to a book I am currently writing, titled "Seared with Reality: Fieldwork in Photography in Nepal." This book relates, through a first-person narrative and some 80 color photographs, the photographic efforts I undertook in Nepal in the summer of 2011 among families I know well. Here, I pay particular attention to photography as a means of perception, remembrance, care, and connection, while giving sustained thought to the cultural and existential aspects of photographic encounters.
