Story

April 25, 2015. The Gorkha Earthquake in Nepal. People lost a great many things. Then, they gained new things. Death and birth. Life is a cycle.

Comment

Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude for my work being chosen at such a prestigious contest. The Gorkha Earthquake in Nepal, April 25, 2015. What can I do to help? I decided to stay in Nepal and continued to take photos and sent information. A tiny village in the mountains with no shops and no school. While living there, I saw loss and I saw new life. People interacting with nature. It was a time that made me think deeply about each and every "life".
