Entry 4: Adventure Photography Planning

I started thinking about where I could have a photography adventure trip (per our assignment that is coming up), and I started looking into trips that could be a possibility.

After watching a documentary on a mountaineering disaster a few years ago, I became infatuated with the mountains. Disaster documentary after disaster documentary,  I slowly fell in love with the idea of mountain climbing, but more over the idea of photographing the epic mountains.

Given my love of all things Everest, I started googling adventure trips for photography surrounding Everest and found this article. http://www.outsideonline.com/1854381/best-adventure-photography-trips-mount-everest-base-camp-nepal

For $4000 (in 2009), I could go to the base of the mountain, take pictures of the mountain from a safe distance (without having to get in enough shape to summit), and have food provided.

I'll be looking into other options, but a trip to Everest is beginning to tempt me.
