This is one of the main temples in Vang Vien, Laos. The temple buildings are beautifully ornate and the surrounding garden is peaceful. On this day however, a number of the monks were busy conducting repairs on the building and, the younger ones especially, were scouting in and out of the windows and up and down the ladder as part of their work. They held a group of us captivated, cameras in hand, with their cheeky expression and playful teasing. I loved the strong contrast of the orange robe against the pink building – I think the colours capture the playfulness of the atmosphere even more than the monk’s expression in this case.
I took this of the 2 monks chatting at Ankor Wat in Cambodia in 2006. This is exactly how i took this picture, there’s been no photoshopping or cropping. This is a 10×15” limited edition print with only 10 to be done in this format, there are only 6 left as 3 have been sold and 1 is the number 1 copy, which will be sold in the future. There’s a special little secret in this pic if you look closely, by the right hand monk’s right foot. Enjoy!

Sunset at U Bein’s Bridge – Mandalay, Burma. The bridge, made entirely of teak, is said to be the longest wooden bridge in the world. A fascinating human procession can be seen on the bridge at any time of day, but especially at sunset. A large Buddhist monastery is located at the foot of the bridge explaining the large number of monks that use it.
Monks putting the final touches to a sand mandala at Thyangboche Monastery, Nepal. The mandala is made for the Mani Rimdu festival which starts on the full moon of October. It is later then ritually dismantled and the sand washed into the Imja Khola river which is a tributary of the great Dudh Koshi (milk river). This is symbolic of the transient nature of things. For the monks the beauty rests in the meditative process of creation. Nikon D80, Nikkor AF-DX Fisheye 10.5mm / F2.8, 1/60, ISo 450 / /

In a temple – Chiang Mai – Thailand /
In Hinduism, sadhu is a common term for a mystic,an ascetic, practitioner of yoga (yogi) and/or wandering monks. The sadhu is solely dedicated to achieving the fourth and final Hindu goal of life, moksha (liberation), through meditation and contemplation. Sadhu is usually referred to as “Baba” by common people. The word ‘baba’ also means father, or uncle, in many Indian languages. Sometimes the respectful suffix ‘ji’ may also be added after baba, to give greater respect to the renunciate. Sadhus often wear ochre-colored clothing, symbolizing renunciation. There are 4 or 5 million Sadhus in India today and they are still widely respected: revered for their holiness.Sadhus are not unified in their practices. Some live in the mountains alone for years at a time, eating only a few bananas. Others walk around with one hand in the air for decades. Still others partake in the religious consumption of charas (hand-made cannabis hashish) and contemplate the cosmic nature and presence of God in the smoke patterns. Sadhus engage in a wide variety of religious practices. Some practice extreme asceticism while others mainly focus on praying, chanting or meditating.
