I will be returning to Nepal this coming May as a
Fulbright Scholar at Pokhara University. I am interested in meeting fellow documentary photographers.
As a retired professor of Communication, Photography
and Photojournalism, I would like make contact with
colleagues from whom I might acquire guidance on
documentary photo work in Nepal. Any suggestions
you might provide to me before I arrive there in
May would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards, GCM
