Finally, the kind of photo I have been looking for. I have been trying to capture the spiritual side of things. I am not talking about some visually appealing monks-in-a-temple shot, but the spiritual reality behind what we see with our eyes, and I am especially focused on the spiritual realm right there on the street and a part of everyday life. In a place like Thailand, it is everywhere, woven into every part of life.

    Thanks. I have been working for months to try to focus on what I want to capture in my photography. I know a lot of folks will just glance at the photos and never really think about them, but when I think about the masters who have gone before, they were not just snapping pics. They had a purpose for shooting or something very specific they wanted to convey.
