THE MAKING OF NEWS BY JAN MOLLER HENSEN
To me, uncertainty and surprise are important aspects of photography — you never know what will happen, who you will meet or what you will see. This is what drives my desire for photography. I decided to make a series about sadhus — the holy men and women who live around the Hindu temples in Nepal. It will take me some years to complete, so I had to get started. One morning, I went to visit the most important Hindu temple in Kathmandu, Pashupatinath, to do some shooting. When I go for a photographic walkabout, I have to some extent already decided what I am looking for. However, from experience I also know that there is a limit to how much I can plan beforehand.
