About India
Posted on November 5, 2009 | 2 CommentsIf you read my recent blog post about how much I am missing Nepal, then perhaps that can serve as a disclaimer before you read about my experiences in India. Culture shock is not descriptive or clear enough of a term to describe my immediate... -
Leaving Nepal
Posted on November 5, 2009 | No CommentsDuring the last few days of our time in Bhaktapur, we sat down to interview Ramesh for our documentary film. In his small office at the back of his ancient house, we asked him many questions about his life, his family, his job, and his... -

Mornings in Nepal
Posted on October 13, 2009 | No CommentsWhen Patty and I wake up in the morning, we quickly eat breakfast and walk through the ancient city of Bhaktapur.

Day 2 in Nepal: Child to Child
Posted on October 3, 2009 | No CommentsWe’ve been here for not even half a week and have already witnessed some of those moving moments I know I’ll experience in my life. The Unatti Foundation’s “Child to Child” program accomplished one of its goals in front of our eyes- connecting children on... -
Little Sister
Posted on October 2, 2009 | No CommentsHolding a video camera and looking through a view finder makes you feel like what is in front of you is on television. There is a separation between artist and subject. This morning, what is in front of me is a woman surrounding by 13...
