Numită cel mai recent stat “democratic” din lume, Bhutan este o ţară mică între India şi China. National Geographic a pus la cale un reportaj acolo, iar fotografa, care a stat şapte săptămâni să fotografieze ce prinde, vorbeşte despre interdicţia de a fotografia altarele templelor budiste, considerat un sacrilegiu de care oamenii se tem cum se temeau amerindienii de furatul sulfetului în obiectivul aparatului:

The government is very strict about it. They don’t care that I’m from the Geographic. They have their reasons—for years tourists and foreigners would come and photograph the altars, and they think that some of the photos would be thrown away. To throw away an image of an altar is sacrilegious and extremely offensive. I was able to photograph around the monasteries in the butter-lamp room where they light butter lamps in the morning.
