I’d been following the Tibetan community in my region for at least a year and a half when Preview decided they’d like an article about one of my contacts, Tibetan stonemason Sonam Lama. He is one of the leaders of the community here in the Pioneer Valley. I’ve been researching and interviewing local Tibetans for several other story leads that tend to be more political and controversial, but I was pleased to be able to profile Sonam’s craftsmanship in this way. Here’s the article, and I’ve put some shots of the layout below, since it looked great and had a cover shot in the magazine, too.
