Keep In Contact and Going Pro

Contact Magazine is a monthly publication in English that serves Mcleod Ganj and its´surrounds area. A few interesting articles of current news from the area , a few propaganda articles to encourage volunteer work in the local community, and a lot of advertisements, it also includes up-to-date information about what is happening around town.

Originally set up by a group of Americans, they were “forced” to leave after the 9-11 catastrophe and after a few months of closure, was reopened by committed and dedicated Tibetans.

Having tried several times, I have finally met the Editor-In-Chief, a gentle Tibetan called Lobsang, showed him my recent portfolio of photographs (Nepal and Pushkar)and secured a position as a photographer for the publication. He thinks he should be able to secure me a press pass so I will finally be able to take my camera in for the next Dalai Lama teachings in March. Here´s hoping!
