    Lucina was alone in her apartment when it began to shake. "I was terrified" she later told me. But at the time I knew nothing of this. I was on a flight returning to Manchester after my second visit to Mridula's family in as many months. As fragile as gossamer, my adoptive family...

    The earthquake caused Everest's worst ever disaster, despite the fact the mountain was 200km from the epicentre. The avalanche which hit the Everest base camp killed at least 17 people and more than 60 were injured.

    A thousand prayer candles would be lit.

    The death toll would rise to over 4000.
  20. Flex Mentallo
    Many buried alive in the rubble.

    Over 8000 people would be injured.

    Haunting because precisely thirty years later, at just before noon on Saturday 25th April 2015, the district would become the epicenter of a 7.9 earthquake.

    This photograph is especially haunting. It was taken in the Gorkha district between Pokhara and Kathmandu in 1985.

    I've been drawing, painting and photodocumenting the village of Bonhooghly since 1982, so his wonderful photos strike a powerful chord with me.
