Ordinary Moments +

For over twenty years, Basil Pao followed Michael Palin (and his BBC crew) around the world. He documented their journeys from the North to the South Pole and around the Pacific Rim. They retraced the footsteps of Hemingway, traversed deep into the Sahara, and trekked up and down across the Himalayas. They crisscrossed post-Iron Curtain Eastern Europe and surveyed Brazil from the Amazon to Iguazu Falls. OM²--Ordinary Moments+ is the distillation of the miles traveled and the tens of thousands of pictures captured. This anthology of 140 photographs illuminates the purity of Pao's vision and contains some of the maestro's favorite images--reaching back to The Kiss at Gorge du Verdon from 1978 to The Ballerina in Hong Kong from 2021.
