Three weeks spent trekking through Nepal, three passes over 17,500 feet, 14 rolls of film, 1 buddy, endless dal bhat. What there was: nepalese smiles, cold fingers, hard beds, good books, time to think, a head cold I wanted to throw a fit over, and too much camera gear. What there was not: screens, dating apps, weed, liquor, tobacco, hurry. Slowing time down happens to be a one ingredient recipe: start walking. Don't stop until your feet hurt, rinse and repeat the following day.
