Tibet

A greeting card for every day featuring a close up of Tibetan Buddhist books. These particular books were brought from Tibet by a family that now runs a guest house in India, which is where we photographed them.

Here is an extract from our short article about how we came to photograph them:

The guesthouse in which we were staying was run by a Tibetan couple and I asked permission to photograph the books. That is when the owners explained that they had brought the prayer books with them when they fled Tibet, as did the Dalai Lama, when the Chinese invaded.

Suddenly, from this one desire to photograph the Tibetan Buddhist prayer books, we learned about the owners of the guest house – of their journey from home and of them being refugees in a foreign country that they had made their new home – but always knowing that Tibet was where they came from and that Tibetan was who they were.
