Buddhist Monk
On one chilly morning I came across him outside of the Khmer Buddhist Temple (London Ontario). He was happy to accommodate when I asked permission to photograph him. Originally from Cambodia he did very well with his broken English.
Super portrait. Got to wonder what was going through his mind while he was posing for you. Maybe, "Are all Canadians this crazy?" Or, "Perhaps he's a candidate for monkdom?" Hey, you never know!
The modern and colorful jacket is amazing compared to the traditional outfits usually worn by the monks. Fun and beautiful portrait
ReplyDelete...I saw several last spring while in Ottawa.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting man to meet and talk to.
ReplyDeleteOur winters must be a real shock to people from warm climes!
ReplyDeleteThe treatment the vets receive at Sunnybrook is fabulous!
Funny how the western clothing for the cold fits perfectly by a buddhist monk. Great portrait ANDY.
ReplyDeleteEven monks have to adapt to the weather and I like the way his colors go. Very fall.
ReplyDeleteWe have some of them here, though I do wonder where they tend to congregate, as you don't see them often.
ReplyDeleteExcellent portrait of this monk wearing traditional robes. Perhaps he is a member of the Buddhist Yellow Hat sect?
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a friendly chap.
ReplyDeleteA great portrait, Andy. He looks very comfortable.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet he finds winters in Toronto quite different from Cambodia.
ReplyDeleteHi I am new to your Blog and Just loved it, I had also started following it. Have a Nice Day... :)
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a kind and gentle man. Well captured portrait!
ReplyDeleteBuen retrato, amigo... Nos está hablando...
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo
That is a great portrait you made of him!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what he thinks of Canada.
