RETURN TO THE ROOF OF THE WORLD This series of black and white photographs documents Nicholas Vreeland s 2003 journey accompanying his teacher, Khyongla Rato Rinpoche, as Rinpoche returned to his birthplace. The photographs Nicholas took during this horseback voyage to the “Roof of the World� capture moments of longing and reunion, and record the landscape and lifestyle of Dagyab district in eastern Tibet. It is an exhibition that deeply touches the heart. Additional Collection of Portraits In 1979, while a guest of the Indian Department of Tourism, Nicholas was fortunate enough to meet several important Tibetan Buddhist teachers and thus assemble an impressive collection of portraits. Dignitaries he photographed include His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the past and current Ling Rinpoche, Serkong Rinpoche, and Zoepa Rinpoche, This private collection of photographic portraits holds great historical value.
