Tibetan And Himalayan Portraits

Beautiful photographs of the nomads of Tibet and Bhutan by Daniel Miller.

Over centuries, the nomads acquired complex knowledge about the environment in which they lived and upon which their lives depended, which enabled them to persist in one of the most inhospitable places on earth. But, they did more than just survive. The nomads created a unique, vibrant culture, about which, even today, so little is known.
