    Honorable Mention

This series was photographed in Tibet, China, during the winter of 2021 using a Leica M3. The photographs include Yamdrok Lake, Mount Everest, and Mount Kailash, all taken at around 5,000 meters above sea level. With very few visitors present at the time, I was able to experience these places in an unusual sense of quiet.There is a deep sense of peace and spirituality that is difficult to describe in words, but I believe film captures that feeling.
