  • Caption: This is a street shot of a Monk. I had asked if I could take his photograph and he nodded, but after processing I am just not sure if he really wanted me to or not. It did of course lend itself to a really interesting image. This was the first time I had actually approached someone on the street to take their photograph, but on reflection I picked the perfect time to do this. The Monk was part of a cultural march and there were lots of people from lots of different countries getting reading to march. As it turned out I got there just as they were setting up. All were proud and excited about being there and were very open to being photographed.
