Goal 2010 Please give this a minute to learn about our 2010 goals and how you can help. Up to now, The Tibetan Photo Project has worked on an evolutionary path, beginning with disposable cameras, almost on its own the project has become 2 traveling exhibits, lectures, slideshows , and feature and short films. To date, in print, the uniqueness of the photos by the Tibetans has inspired articles in the Western press with a combined circulation of 26 million. Online over one-half million have viewed the video clips produced by The Tibetan Photo Project. Now its time to have a set of goals and we hope you will help us reach it by telling friends and where you can making donations of any size. The goal is to establish 3 of The Tibetan Photo Project Film Maker Education Centers in the Tibetan communities in northern and southern India and in Delhi beginning in 2010. • Each center will offer digital broadcast quality movie cameras for checkout by Tibetans and a series of computer editing • The development of new Tibetan voices that can be heard around the world is the greatest challenge facing the Tibetans in Films and photos allow Tibetans to talk to the world across The cost to equip and establish each center has been set at $55,000 each. $165,000 for three centers. You can help with a $5 donation or more.* Once The Tibetan Photo Project Film Maker Education Centers are established, full ownership of The Tibetan Photo Project will be turned over to the Tibetans. If you would like to be an associate producer on an upcoming film, the donation is $500 and as a full producer, $5000. You will share in any film sale profits. If you would like to donate at this level, drop us an email and we can discuss details. Films and photos create a voice and we also expect the development of films will generate an income stream for the Tibetans from screenings and the production and sale of DVDs. So please help: Pass our information and Website along to friends

If you have any questions or comments, email Sazzy and I direct at tibetanphoto@gmail.com Turn down the lights... the movies are about to start Visually and Respectfully Yours, The Story of The Tibetan Photo Project Voices in Exile Visually and Respectfully, Joe Mickey and Sazzy Varga Mar. 2008 We just signed an urgent petition calling on the Chinese government to respect human rights in Tibet and engage in meaningful dialogue with the Dalai Lama. This is really important, and we thought you might want to take action: http://www.avaaz.org/en/tibet_end_the_violence/98.php/?cl_tf_sign=1 (from there site) "After nearly 50 years of Chinese rule, the Tibetans are sending out a global cry for change. But violence is spreading across Tibet and neighbouring regions, and the Chinese regime is right now considering a choice between increasing brutality or dialogue, that could determine the future of Tibet and China. We can affect this historic choice. China does care about its international reputation. Its economy is totally dependent on "Made in China" exports that we all buy, and it is keen to make the Olympics in Beijing this summer a celebration of a new China that is a respected world power. President Hu needs to hear that 'Brand China' and the Olympics can succeed only if he makes the right choice. But it will take an avalanche of global people power to get his attention. Click below to join me and sign a petition to President Hu calling for restraint in Tibet and dialogue with the Dalai Lama -- and tell absolutely everyone you can right away. The petition is organized by Avaaz, and they are urgently aiming to reach 1 million signatures to deliver directly to Chinese officials:" http://www.avaaz.org/en/tibet_end_the_violence/98.php/?cl_tf_sign=1 Thank you so much for your help! Jan- Mar. 2008 This new year will see a big change for us as we at long last are incorporating. The Tibetan Photo Project will not change it will simply be under the new parent company umbrella- Cameras For Culture.

Cameras For Cultures will be a 501 3c Non Profit so that future donation can be tax deductible. We will update you as soon as the status is active. We that you for being a party of The Tibetan Photo Project family and watching us grow, we are still(as we have always been) operating out of a begging bowl, but we feel it is the right time to move in this direction. For us, The Tibetans, and hopefully more cultures in need. Visually and Respectfully Yours, Sazzy Varga and Joe Mickey

######################################################################################## China is growing in influence on the world stage. For several years it has been increasing its military spending at a rate that is over twice the growth rate of its economy. The next leader in China is likely to be Hu Jintao. His political rise, is due in large part to his implementing and maintaining of a brutal hard-line policy during his term overseeing China's control of Tibet. There are many wonderful works that look at Tibet from the outside. The Tibetan Photo Project is designed to provide a voice to the Tibetans by exhibiting their views through their own works of photography. Their vantage point on China and their experiences in Tibet and in exile are extremely relevant to anyone trying to understand the geopolitical, military and economic designs of China in the future. The intent is to provide a view through the eyes of the Tibetan community, create a vehicle that provides an elementary introduction and links you to further study and understanding while giving a personal voice to the Tibetans that participate in this project. Because of its unique perspective, the project which began in 2000, is also catching the eye of the art world with write ups by art columnist Kenneth Baker of the San Francisco Chronicle (Feb. 5, 2002), the June 2002 edition of Art & Antiques Magazine and the Santa Barbara art and culture magazine, Head. Please feel free to contact us about a slide show presentation and gallery exhibitions and prints. Thank you for stopping by the Tibetan Photo Project. We hope you will return often, tell your friends and please be sure to explore the links. The needs of the project are outlined at www.tibetanphotoproject.com and Help Photo Project Visually Yours, Joe Mickey & Sazzy Lee Varga Contact us via e-mail at tibetanphoto@gmail.com For the latest news on Tibet please visit Connect with Tibet ARCHEIVES - Founders News
