Meditations on Tibet is a collection of images of portraits, landscapes, temple interiors and sacred architecture that Mr. Hale shot during a five week journey through Tibet in 2004. Over the course of the trip, he spent time in the cities of Lhasa, Shigatse and Gyantse, visiting a number of sacred sites including Samye, Tashilhungpo and Pachu monasteries and the Kumbum Stupa. He then traveled overland to camp on the outskirts of the remote village of Karta on the edge of the Himalayas, and finally took a long trek into the Himalayas to Petang Ringma, the lesser utilized of Tibet’s two base camps for climbing Mt. Everest.
