Seth’s portfolio is more than just a collection of images; it’s a living journal etched through my lens during twenty years of expeditions across the globe. Each photograph captures not only the objective of the journey and the spirit of the expedition team, but also the profound and often unspoken connection forged with the local people encountered along the way. These experiences, these shared moments, form the heart of my book, “Salt of the Earth,” and offer a glimpse into the raw beauty and resilient humanity that binds us all. Explore these photographs and witness the world as I have seen it, a testament to the enduring power of human connection amidst the grandeur of our planet.

“A trip to never forget. A wonderfully exhausting, challenging, breathtaking and ultimately insanely rewarding & memorable adventure. Brilliantly managed and executed from start to finish. It could not be better, safer, and more inspiring hands up in the Himalayas.”

“This was one of the best experiences of my life. I have always wanted to go to Nepal, and I chose this trip based on pricing, timing, route and logistics. Karuna Project provides an exceptional travel experience. Seth and Nicole delivered culture, anthropology, philanthropy, and adventure in a fun, welcoming, and well supported trip. I was blown away by how patient they both are. The decades of experience of our guide team provided a meaningful experience that created deep connections with local communities as well as a trek of a lifetime. I was delighted to be part of a Karuna Project adventure and look forward to future trips. I highly recommend Karuna Project for you next travel opportunity.”

“I can’t thank you enough, Nicole Blaser. Every step of the way you were by my side, and all of your experience as a NOLS instructor made me feel so safe and protected. There was always a backup plan in place in case things went wrong. I really felt like the team we had was so professional and knew how to handle medical emergencies while staying calm, cool, and collected.”

“Seth isn’t only an amazing guide, he’s an amazing teacher. Our trip to the Unita’s last summer was very organized and well prepared. We knew well in advance what to expect, what to bring and how to prepare for the trip. Every meal he prepared was absolutely delicious. He was patient with us in setting up tents and packing our backpacks and gave us plenty of time to explore, swim in the alpine lakes and enjoy the scenery. He found us the perfect campsites every night. I can’t wait for the next trip!”

“There was a lot of support and encouragement and we found ways to laugh even on the tough days. Chandra, Deb, Nobu and the guides were phenomenal – their experience and guiding definitely helped the trip be successful. Seth did a great job with the planning and execution and I felt that Nicole was invaluable to the entire team with her experience, support, help, and care. She definitely pulled me through on some of my hardest days.”
