It contains 170 pages, 376 photos and much written information on life and culture in four remote communities of Bhutan.

On the auspicious occasion of the first anniversary of the Royal Wedding in Bhutan (on October 13, 2012) the inaugural issue of “The Raven”, a new monthly magazine was published.

Beginning of September I was asked if I could contribute a photo essay with accompanying text to the new publication and am now happy to see how my article “Kheng Colours – Students in the remote village of Kagtong explore and document life and culture in their village using modern digital Photography” became part of it.
