Description of Pictures: Sherpa - Opening Night Event!
Thanks to the Reva and David Logan Foundation for its support of this evening.
Join us at the Carnegie Institution, as we launch the 24th Annual Environmental Film Festival in the Nation’s Capital and celebrate its theme: Parks: Protecting Wild and the DC premiere of Sherpa.
Filmmaker Jennifer Peedom was following the legendary Phurba Tashi Sherpa as he prepared for his record-breaking 22nd ascent of Mount Everest when the unthinkable happened: a deadly avalanche killed 16 Sherpas, and their community united in grief and anger to reclaim the mountain from the adventure industry that hires them to risk their lives. Through the voices of the guides themselves, their families, and the climbers poised to summit when the disaster struck, Sherpa chronicles a historic moment of tragedy and resistance in which the Sherpas and their families reconsider the spiritual, economic, and personal implications of climbing or not climbing Everest. Sherpa will air April 23 on Discovery Channel.
Directed by Jennifer Peedom and produced by Bridget Ikin and John Smithson.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

11. SHERP2_160315_282.JPG: Ken Sauls Originally from the Chicago area, Sauls' passion for adventure was fueled early on by rock climbing outings in the Midwest. A trip to Yosemite Valley after graduating high school introduced him to the world of big wall climbing, which became a focus for years to come. Relocating to Telluride, CO in 1986, Sauls spent the next ten years climbing extensively throughout the lower 48 states. As the quest for adventure eventually led to places such as Alaska, South America, Pakistan, Nepal and SE Asia, his desire to create images in these places also grew. Sauls' initial love of still photography was a natural foundation for motion picture production, and since the 1990's, he has made his living filming the most remote corners of the planet. From the rainforests of Borneo to the Arctic Ice Cap, from the ocean floor to the peaks of the Himalaya, Sauls has filmed on every continent for television, feature films, the Internet, and printed media. He has climbed and filmed the highest peak on each continent with The Heroes Project, including Mt. Everest, which he climbed in both 2003 and 2006 where he met Tim. He has filmed in deserts, jungles and has been to the sea numerous times. As a cinematographer, Ken Sauls' vision remains rooted in producing images that relate the intrinsic value of adventure, the motivations of those who pursue it, and the harsh beauty of the landscapes in which they dwell.

Bardin earned his PhD in neuroscience from Weill Cornell Medical College, where he studied recovery from severe brain injury and disorders of consciousness. He is the recipient of a research fellowship from the National Institutes of Health, and has published papers in several scientific journals, including Brain and Archives of Neurology. Bardin earned his A.B. from Harvard College with a concentration in Visual and Environmental Studies. The above from http://dceff.org/filmmaker/bardin-jon/
