  • About

In Pakistan’s Hunza Valley, the hillsides of the Karakoram Mountains are bare stone and sand, the peaks topped with snow. Wherever there is a stream coming down from the glaciers above, people have created irrigation channels and built terraces on which they cultivate wheat and apricots and vegetables, turning the barrenness green.

We weren’t able to get back to Pakistan in the last three years, while we were working on this book. Naomi was set to go to Lahore, but as time got close for going, people whose opinions we trust said no, don’t go—it’s not safe or smart for a foreigner to be out with a camera, wandering around, not now. We kept thinking that maybe things would change, and they have, but very slowly.
