His Holiness with President Obama. The White House, United States. · 2010 Digital
I was born in Kyirong, in southern Tibet, in 1960. My parents carried me out of the country when I was one month old. I taught myself photography after coming to the United States in 1985, and I have been making these pictures ever since — in Tibet when I could return, in India among my people, at Sera and Drepung and Ganden, in the back rooms of temples in Queens and the Hudson Valley and in the audience halls where His Holiness spoke to us. This is the archive of that work.
