Sharon, why do you think that images of Tibetan Peasants are any less sensitive than those images taken by Mr. Ricard? Don't they show another aspect of this highly complicated culture? Does your disagreement with peasant imagery develop from the fact that there is an abundance of representation vs the lack of other Tibetan themes, such as religious imagery?
I can't comment on Mr. Burdick since I know nothing of him and only glanced at his work. I have seen similar images though from many other artists. Maybe this theme has become popular and is in danger of exploitation as well.
