Andrea said...: I just love the way you capture the people and their cultures. I am curious, do some of them pose for you? Do you ask their permission?
My friend and husband perchased some of your work for my birthday, but you were out of town, I am so excited to decorate with faces from around the world.
Blessings,; 11:12 AM
Matt Brandon said...: Andrea- Sometimes the people do indeed pose for me. Most of the time, I find them in their environment and the pause what they are doing long enough for me to take their picture. I will often ask to take their photo before I shoot it. Glad you are enjoying the images.; 8:33 PM

Winding Down

Only one more day left. This trip has been more fun than a person should be allowed to have! But, I will be truthful with you, if I don't see another Gompa (a.k.a. Monastery) for a while, I won't complain. But - with that said, I am really looking forward to doing this again next year. Ladakh has definitely feed my mountain craving. Leh is just off the Tibetan plain, yet still in the Himalaya, so we are surrounded by 20,000 foot peaks every where we turn. The people are some of the most photogenic people I have run across in all my travels. Almost all Buddhist they are a beautiful and gentle people and very colorful. I will post more and update my gallery once I return to Malaysia.
