I took this picture at the Drepung Monastary just outside Lhasa. A bit of background makes the image all the more interesting.. In Tibet, photographic images of the Dalai Lama are prohibited. As a Tibetan - you can get into serious trouble by owning or distributing these images. This can also get the unsuspecting traveller into some bother, and as a result, the 'Tibet' Lonely Planet guidebook has a line drawing of him near the beginning of the book (I assume that these are allowed). The 'India' Lonely Planet guide does have a photo of the DL therein - so watch out at the border! Anyway ... we met these chatty and friendly monks at the wonderful Drepung Monastery. They had never seen an image, photographic, or otherwise - of the Dalai Lama, and we showed them the drawing in our book. Look at the expression on that young monk's face. It was a wonderful moment to capture.

The camera is only a witness. It easily produces an image of truth. Photography is difficult because a good photography is a reflection of those who make it. When a photographer looks at his subject, he sees with everything he is, with everything he has lived. Knowledge, experience, and imagination enable him to do powerful, sensitive work. - James Stanfield
