Excellent captures of the monks. Some seem so young. Again a wonderful series Joe.

A Reaction from an old amateur (74): I looked at your photos and quickly lost you. I was totally into myself and asking questions. What influenced their decision to take that path? What was their upbringing like? Did their parents encourage them to become monks, or was it some other religious teacher (like our Sunday school)? I wish I could ask an older and a younger monk the same questions. Focused on their faces. Then POP, I’m back out thinking what a wonderful set and story. The technique, composition. That will keep me shooting … and wishing.

Thank you. I'll be watching for you.
Thanks Thomas, we have just a week left on this component of the tour and then I will take a long break, as we are heading off for Europe, or so I hope, the tour should resume again towards the end of June. If you found this interesting, you might want to go back on some of the previous posts of this tour, you can do that easily with the link I provided at the end of each intro.

One of the captions says the white robes are novices, monks “in training”.

Interesting, they are so young!
Thank you Gary, yes, many of them are and they are basically here for their schooling, not necessarily as permanent monks.
