Artist's Comments

This group of young Buddhist monks had just boarded the Chao Phraya river boat in Bangkok, which serves as a bus on the river at the west side of the city. Being a monk requires a commitment to a lifetime of austerity and personal sacrifices, which are all part of ancient traditions. One can only imagine what goes on inside the mind of someone so young as they look to this future.

Your picture makes me wonder the same thing. It's probably such a hard life for them to change into :).

Wonderful deviation! You have a talent when it comes to takeing pictures :).

the expressions on these young boys faces are so intriguing - yes I am wondering what is going thru their minds as they tread along the difficult path of priesthood. The one in the foreground has such a worried frown for one so young

technically really lovely - sharp, great colours
hehe the one thing about photography on the fly vs studio is all those extra people in the way. That guy with his head cut off is a pain, but that's real life :D

I thought they only have to come a monk for a couple of years, but any way great shot. Really makes you think what the child is thinking.

I finally get to really comment on some of these masterpieces you've returned home with. The framing, composition and clarity are just stellar but it's the moment you've captured that really is the art here. The expression on that boys face is so incredible. I can't quite place if it's good or bad but there's definately some deep thoughts running through that young boys mind. It's almost.. concern.. for the unknown perhaps. This is a beautiful example of photojournalism done right.
