The room was packed, the stories unfolded, the crowd engaged and the unexpected over-the-top-forever-long standing ovation brought me to tears.

I keep hearing positive feedback from people who attended the “slide lecture” at Museum of the Rockies sponsored by the Bozeman Art Museum. I write “slide lecture” with quotes because the time I spent behind the podium sharing intimate stories woven within the rather epic story of my project in Bhutan is just that; a story, a saga, an adventure and a fairytale (hardly a lecture).
