A few weeks back I took one of the most incredible road trips of my life, a 20 hour van ride through the mountainous deserts of the Himalayas to get to the town of Leh.

I saw incredibly dramatic scenery as we careened down winding mountain roads and across desert plains in our little Force Traveler van. The landscape changes so much. At times it reminded me of the mountains I saw when I backpacked through Denali national park in Alaska and then I would fall asleep and wake up in a place that looked like the surface of the moon. There was just no telling what would come next.

It’s hard to believe that drivers take this trip daily. A good portion of it is unpaved and the at one point the road climbs to a crushing 17,582 feet as you cross the second highest motorable pass in the world at Taglangla.

I plan on putting together a slideshow presentation covering the trip in the few days. For now here are a some stills.

The multimedia piece I put together for the Foundry workshop made it’s way onto the liveBooks Resolve blog along with a piece by fellow workshop attendee Dhiraj Singh who I must say I am hnored to be recognized along with . Check it out.

In other news I’m back in Delhi which means Internet access is once again readily available. I have a ton of photo and video to edit together in the next couple of days and should be bombing the blog with it shortly.

In the meantime here’s a still that didn’t make it into Vroom Vroom:

I have to type quickly because my laptop is dying and the Internet connection in Leh is incredibly slow but… here’s a project I just finished on Enfield motorcycle culture in Manali India. Check it out!

Also if you take a look at the top of the bog you’ll see that I’ve added a work section. Take a look if you’re interested in seeing what I’ve been up to for the past few months.
