Over the years I have had many people ask me if they could assist me on one of my trips.\u00a0 I’ve never been too anxious to do so because I felt it would be too disruptive to have more “foreigners” than necessary show up in a remote village or at a nomad’s tent taking photos.<\/p>\n

On my last trip to Tibet in May I decided to take two photographers with me to help cover expenses.\u00a0\u00a0 I had met Stevan at one of my lectures at PhotoPlus and Inigo at one of my workshops in Los Angeles.\u00a0\u00a0 It turned out to be a great collaborative experience with me learning as much or more from them as they did from me.\u00a0 My worries about having two extra foreigners show up vs one turned out to be unfounded.\u00a0\u00a0 Both Stevan and Inigo were great with the people.<\/p>\n

Here are some images and a recollection from Stevan:<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

An early morning walk on the dirt paths of Langmusi (Chinese) or Taktsang Lhamo (Tibetan) revealed approximately 35 motor biking nomads.\u00a0 These rough riding types rode over 100 kilometers to tithe to the Kerti Gumpa (monastery). What a sight to see these characters with camera phones.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

They found me as much of a mystery as I did them.\u00a0 They sat and prayed with monks in this village that straddled the border between Sichauan and Gansu.\u00a0 The monks took their donation and draped their motorbikes with prayer flags.\u00a0 In quick order the nomads sped away to place the flags at the highest peak of the village. The display of prayer flags on mountain tops is widely seen in Tibet.\u00a0 It is an act of building merit and goodwill as the wind flutters the mantra stamped flags voicing the faith of Buddhism to the world.\u00a0 It was humbling to experience the devotion of an unlikely group of men.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is one of those moments that will always stay with me.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n
