It is home to the indigenous Tibetan people, and to some other ethnic groups such as Monpas and Lhobas, and is now also inhabited by considerable numbers of Han Chinese people. Tibet is the highest region on earth, with an average elevation of 4,900 metres (16,000 ft). It is sometimes referred to as the roof of the world.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Mission Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n Recognizing that there is much that we can learn from the Tibetans:<\/p>\n The goal of The Tibetan Photo Project is to provide the tools and technical education in photography to create a voice from the films and photos by Tibetans.<\/p>\n While there have been thousands of great visual works documenting the Tibetans, most have been from the perspective of the Western eye.<\/p>\n The Tibetan Photo Project is working to present the Tibetans‘ own perspective through the Website, exhibits, films, DVDs and other visual programs created from their own photographic work or by film and photo efforts directed by Tibetans.<\/p>\n
