"Several years ago, I distributed ten digital cameras to young adult Tibetan refugees living in Nepal. Three of them professed basic photographic skills but none of them owned a camera.
My deal was straightforward. They received free cameras and I received documentation of the Tibetan refugee experience. This book is the result of that collaboration." - excerpted from the introductory chapter "Genesis" by Mikel Dunham
