Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on October 19, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Lobsang Wangyal! Another year older, yet your camera lens remains forever young. You've captured history through your iconic shots for Agence France-Presse—proving that while a picture is worth a thousand words, yours are clearly priceless.

From documenting vibrant Tibetan festivals to producing groundbreaking events like the Miss Tibet pageant and the Tibetan Music Awards, you've shown us all how to blend creativity with courage. May this birthday bring you as much joy as your photographs have brought inspiration—and may your shutter finger stay swift and steady!

Here's to another year of adventures behind (and occasionally in front of) the camera!
