how excellent is this ..!!!!..
the positioning in the canvas of your very good looking man is perfect ..
loving that crisp V that his sleeve forms ..
also that he has a face so full of character ..
both colour and black and white work so well ..
if you found him again and you showed him this he'd probably want a copy .. would look excellent hanging on his wall .. a wonderful conversation starter .. :)

thanks so much for all the info ..
very interesting ..

btw .. you need a sherpa for all your gear ..!!..
hoping that's not politically incorrect to say .. you never know these days ..

three minutes and 15 seconds later ..
I just googled sherpa as I was unsure if they actually carried the gear ..

"In some of the toughest terrain in the world at the highest altitudes, they routinely carry more than their body weight in gear, food, and equipment for tourists. It's not unusual for their loads to be upward of 150 lbs."
