My dear friend, amazing talented photographer and cook, Nik Sharma, will release his first cookbook in October 2018. Nik conceptualized an idea of a fun stop-motion-esque presentation of his narrative of running to his roots in India and his love of food. I used his stylistic photography and transformed his concept into this video.
Also, see my other short documentary, Discover the Hands Behind Nik Sharma’s Food Photography, for KQED Arts about Nik’s photography style.
Created for the saunachannel.com – explore a variety of unique bathing styles and destinations around the world. From North America to Europe, Asia, and beyond, our crews have captured beautiful stories, people, architecture, nature, cultures, and traditions — all around sweating in saunas, soaking in hot springs, and rejuvenating in spas and bathhouses.
A real gem in the Eastern Sierras in California, this soak destination is managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), so you can plan on free, undeveloped camping nearby on back roads. Note: this location is frequented by bathers in the nude, and the pools do not have any concrete, the bottom is mud.
Getting there: From Bridgeport, go south on Highway 395 and turn left on the unmarked paved road before the Forest Service Office. A few miles on a dirt road off of Highway 395 will take you to Travertine Hot Springs. A short distance from the first set of the hottest pools, there's a great view of Sawtooth Ridge. Further east through travertine rock, there are four small pools in a meadow.
