Joni, I apologize for not responding sooner, though I would not have been much help as I did not notice the types of TV’s . . . . other than they were definitely not flat screens!

I’m doing a film and need to recreate the Tibetan nomad life.
In this scene they will have a television set. Do you have an idea of the brands and types of TVs they might have? Would they be Chinese? Would they be older style.Appreciate any help.

Hi Phil, I have been following your website and now your blog since 2005. The day after your exhibit ended at the Bower’s Museum I found it on their website. I was so bummed but am grateful for internet, for I can continue learning and being inspired by your photos. When I first heard of the railroad establishment from Beijing to Lhasa I thought it would be a great trip to take but later learned how it’s a tool for the government to dilute the Tibetan culture as they take over their land. I suppose the declination of this permit is another step towards their goal, minimizing the Tibetan population. So my question is not “Why” but “How” do we stop this?… the answer came quickly, it’s the work like yours that brings awareness to the public and hopefully we, the human race, will preserve what is irreplaceable.
Through your photos and documentary, I find wisdom and love for life.
Thank you.

I’m glad this issue is getting increasing attention. It’s nearly unbearable to imagine women going into labor alive and well, then losing their lives when some basically simple interventions could change it all around. I used to think that midwifery skills were always passed down from a skilled attendant to her mentees but have learned that’s not always the case. There is a lot of work to do to change this sometimes drastic situation. Thanks for taking note. Your work and that of Kristof & WuDunn will make a difference, along with midwives and other providers who recognize that something can be done.
