One of our favorite photographers, James Gritz, has posted a new collection of photos of his travels, featuring special moments from, as he writes, “Nangchen to New York.” There you’ll also see a photo of the 17th Karmapa, taken by Gritz during His Holiness’s recent American tour. That photo, of course, graces the cover of our January 2010 issue (pictured here), and we couldn’t be more pleased.

You can even order a print of the photo. Everyone wins: half the proceeds from your purchase will go to the Karmapa Foundation.
