Over the past 4 years I've gotten serious about photography. Rather than 'just design,' I love to capture the beauty or reality of things already out there. To observe without judgment, to see things as they are - photography became my way to do just that.
I recently presented a photography art exhibition in the Nepal Art Council Gallery in Babarmahal, Kathmandu, Nepal. Organized by Chomolungma UNESCO Center (http://www.cucweb.org), the exhibition 'Hue/Saturation' was a presentation of 365 photographs taken in Nepal over the course of three years. They were unframed and pasted onto the walls in a wave-like shape, bleding from one hue into the next - showing the country's richness in culture, color, religion, habits, customs, landscapes, cityscapes, ethnicities and diversity of people and their backgrounds.
By not taking any political or moral standpoint, but rather by presenting a view of Nepal in a wave of tones, the exhibition showed (at a distance) the rainbow of beauty the country has to offer, and (close up) the details of various aspects of daily life and the everyday things we tend to overlook too easily.
