Artist's Comments

Phra Pathom, Thailand
September 2003:

At the site of the world's largest Buddhist monument at Phra Pathom, I was introduced to this ancient monk in orange robes. He watched me effortlessly as I scoured the temple for interesting images through my lens...and then he signaled to me to come closer. I did and as I lowered my camera he sent a blessing my way in a raspy, almost inaudible voice which gave shivers to my spine.

I can only imagine that very blessing was what helped keep me safe on the rest of my intrepid tour across South East Asia and into Central Asia.

you are definitely one person who inspires me enough to make me want to go out into the streets taking randoms pictures of people. the thing that really got to me about this is the serene look regardless of age. a photo of complete submission and ultimate serenity. good work. he almost looks amused.

Caine... this photo is absolutely... beautiful. I'm always a sucker for old people, but this one is perfect. Of all your photos yet, this has to be one of my most favorite pieces... it looks as if he could be examining himself in the mirror or something, touching his face, thinking about all that he had to go through, to become that wrinkley :D hehe... it's very beautiful caine

if your entire point is to prove what real art is...I'm quite sure you've missed the point.

Wow, that's a great capture. I had a roommate in college from Thailand. I had a great time learning about her culture.
