TIBET COLLECTION
In 2007, I was part of a philanthropic medical expedition in the Kham region of Tibet. Organized by Marc Gold, founder of the charity 100 Friends, the trip was to bring much needed medical aid and supplies to the often forgotten remote region of Kham. The experience was extremely memorable. The locations that we traveled to were desolate, beautiful, and very impressive. The religious and family traditions of the Tibetan people are on full display in Kham, on a daily basis. I had an opportunity to photograph several very interesting facets of Tibetan Buddhism, including a ceremony where an offering of food is set afire to nourish souls no longer on Earth.
