Artist's Comments

Tibetan monks creating a sand mandala. I took a sand mandala class two years ago from a visiting monk, and it's so incredibly hard to do. The sand is put inside the brass funnel-ish tool, and you brush another piece of metal along a ridge, which compels the sand to come out, just a little at a time. I'm proud of this pic, because you wouldn't believe how many it took to come out well. But then again, maybe you can >.>

#2 in my series from the Tibetan monk tour.

Have you any idea how ironic it is when someone calls someone a "retart"?
:icondj-smexy:
You should be proud of this one! =D Beautiful use of focus on the hands, absolutely beautiful. I love it!

Ah, thank you muchly! This one was quite difficult. The monks take very little notice of cameras in their vicinity, so they're always working, yet always natural. It was a challenge, at the very least. :D

This moment is all that we have... Our perception is all that we see... Perception is relative... Relativity is devoid of absolute meaning, and is thus empty. I am pondering this at the moment...

Yeah, I can imagine it would be really tough to time a shot properly, but at least you don't have to worry about them posing :P
