Old Dudes
This two elderly men (one's a monk) were hanging out on a porch in front of the Songzhanling monastery. They patiently tried to ignore me another photographer and I fired off a couple of shots.
Dancing Child
This wonderful slide was shot during one of the cultural shows we attended. I was sitting in the front row shooting show when I noticed the young child dancing on the table at stage side. I froze the moment with my 'nuclear' powered flash.
Colorful Costumes
There was an incredible variety of colorful native costumes at the festival.
Playing Tunes
There were quite a few interesting musicians around the festival infield.
Senior Monks
I shot this slide from the second floor balcony inside the Songzhanling monastery.
Young studious monks
These two were quite surprised that I thought they were photogenic.
Young Girl
This young girl was wandering around with her family in front of the Songzhanling monastery.
Lone Lama
This will likely be the last monk at a remote monastery we visited. I can't remember the name. The future of the monastery is in doubt since it's difficult for this Lama to get students to study at his remote location.
Displaying Tie-Dyed Fabric
Intricate patterns were available in Chou Cheng village near Dali.
Tibetan Family
We visited their home near Zhongdian. The girl sitting on her mothers lap was quite shy. I have a lot of slides of her hiding her face. This one caught her off-guard. The house was quite big even by western standards. It had a wood burning stove which vented the smoke through an opening to the attic.
Young Tibetan Girl
Sani Minority
This woman was sitting in front of her home in Wu Ke Shu. She is part of the Sani Minority culture. We walked through Wu Ke Shu en route to the Stone Forest. I really enjoy seeing how the people live vice seeing the staged touristy places. Walking the streets and visiting markets can yield outstanding images.
I'm Tired!
While wandering through the market at Zhongdian we came across this tired young boy. He was trying to sleep on his feet while leaning on a sack of walnuts.
