Benefit Sale... your purchase will clothe Tibetan orphans at the Menri Monastery in India.

Calla lilies are universally recognized for their enchanting beauty and aesthetic charm. The photos on this site and other photos will be on display at the Gesundheit Center at 12 St. Marks Place in New York City from Friday, May13th until Sunday, July 3rd. 15% of all revenues will be donated to the Bon Foundation. See www.bonfoundation.org to learn more the ancient Tibetan culture of Bon and the efforts underway to preserve it (click here to make a contribution).

The photographs are all original images by Sausalito photographer, Tom O'Connell, who has been capturing calla lily images for more than 30 years. The prints in this exhibit are all digital. Tom works with professional digital cameras and printers. He prints on fine art paper with archival inks. These processes not only offer exceptional tonal control but also offer an archival permanence that exceeds that of silver based photo printing.

Each of theses limited series of photos is named for one of the orphans at the Menri Monastery and 15% of all revenues from this project will go to the Monastery for the benefit of the Tibetan orphans.

Tom is represented by Annette Adams, Fine Art Consultant (see "Toy Lady" page on this website).

Annette and Tempa Lama will use the profits fro this trip to build a Bonpo school in Tempa's home town of Torpa.
