![HAPPY NEW YEAR! CHILE - 2009 [NJC_0222] We just got off the mountain that day and headed over to Andres' (our guide's) house, where his wife cooked a wonderful meal and we celebrated the new year with pineapple ice cream and champagne.](../imgThmb/NJC_0222a.jpg)
![MAN WITH A CALF - NEPAL [2100 NE] I was on the Annapurna Circuit trek when I saw this man with bright colorful clothing chasing a runaway calf. He was not happy. So I followed him through the lens of my camera. He finally caught the calf and picked him up, stomping around to make sure others didn't run away. I kept whispering to myself, "turn around," and then he did for just a second. I clicked, hoping he was in focus and that I got him and the calf before he turned back (this was in the days of using my Nikon FE2 SLR with manual focus). Not until I returned home did I know I captured the moment.](../imgThmb/2100_NE_M.jpg)

![MAN ON A ROOFTOP - MENANG, NEPAL [2112 NE] I was ill the night before with a high fever and upset body. While my friends took a hike, I sat around feeling weak but relieved that the cipro was working. In a couple of days we would be heading over the nearly 18,000 foot pass. From the rooftop where we were camping, I heard the rumbling sound of an avalanche and looked over but instead of seeing the avalanche I noticed this man looking at me. I picked up my camera and took his photo as he continued to calmly watch me. In my self-absorbed mind he was thinking, 'That's what you get for drinking the water.'](../imgThmb/2112_NE_M.jpg)
