A Bit of Buddah

Hi Peeps!
Sorry that it's been such a long time since I've posted on this blog. The new year has been full of changes for me in almost every aspect of my life, and I haven't had the chance to devote myself to blogging as much as I would like. I hope to get back on track and keep everyone updated on my work.

Just a few weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph a very interesting event. A beautifully hand crafted Buddha made of jade and gold was on display to the public. It had traveled from Australia to California and was soon heading back to Europe. When I heard about it, I immediately knew I wanted to be a part of the experience.

It was a lovely sunny day - the first one after days and days of rain. The grass was the greenest I've seen in a long time and there was a wonderful breeze. Just one of those yummy sunny days. As I walked from the parking area into the monastery, I could feel the vibrations of energy begin to shift. There was a feeling of peace. Wafting towards me was the smell of jasmine flowers mixed with incense. I followed the crowd of people down a walkway and was immediately drawn into another land. Here are a few of the images from that lovely day.
