Journeys with Emily Davidow

Yeshey Dorji’s stunning photography highlights Bhutan’s unique flora, birds and culture. Subscribe to his blog Bhutan: Land of the Thunder Dragon for a regular dose of happiness!

“I celebrate the beauty and the uniqueness of our country – Bhutan. The images posted here are my personal bests – either for their spontaneity, richness of color or simply because they represent a part of our culture and tradition that is slowly being obliterated in the name of modernization and efficiency.” — Yeshey Dorji

Completely captivated by the slideshow of Alison Wright’s wonderful photos of Tibet and her inspiring story of spirit and survival from NYTimes Lens Blog — Tibetan Nomads, Remote in a Remote Land. If you are too, you can join her on photo journey workshops she’s leading in China, India and Burma. Her book, Learning to Breathe, just jumped to the top of my ‘to read’ list.

'Chante de Grenouille' Manuel Lau,
Woodcut on 565 x 755 mm paper, from an edition of 9.

Delighted to discover the art of Manuel Lau, a Peruvian Chinese Canadian artist and printmaker, at Solander Gallery in Wellington, New Zealand. Looking forward to seeing what comes out of his artist in residence experience at Guanlan Print Studio in Shenzhen, China. (And to visiting Guanlan next time I’m in Shenzhen!)
