A photographic gallery of the images shot just before the earthquake is available for free in the app.
Thanks for supporting the people of NEPAL.

"This is a tribute to the people and culture of Nepal, tragically hit by a devastating earthquake.
I shot these images a few days before the tragedy: most of these monuments are not standing any longer, the destiny of most of the people is unknown.
Nepal and Nepali people will go back to their life and history, but it will take time and a lot of help.
Please help as you can.."
