When I made Child of Tibet - a lost innocence I wanted to convey the hope that still remains for Tibet, the beauty of the culture and the natural wondrousness of the land. Foreword by the Dalai Lama I was honoured that His Holiness the Dalai Lama recognized what I was doing. Child of Tibet - a lost innocence combines beautiful images and design, anecdotal stories, a brief history of the nation and a foreword by the Dalai Lama. It took a few years to publish it but I think it was worth it. Friends described my book as a ... beautifully presented photographic journey through Tibet ... a masterfully photographed labour of love ... a delightful photography book about the beauty of Tibet and its people – Shane Marden
