If the Wrinkles on a persons face are the roadmap of their life, then this Bhutanese fellow has had a very full life indeed. For me it seems that Bhutan is a country of people photography. The countryside is spectacular, the nature is wild and the architecture beautiful, but the faces of the people were what i kept seeing and photographing first.
The people have such beautifully open and diverse faces, so i took lots and lots of portraits, some sneaky ones, like this one, but most with the consent (and a conversation, with lots of hand waving and laughing) with the person involved.
A road map to life
This image shows an old Man watching a festival in a small Monastery of Prakar Lhakhang in the Chumey Valley, Bumthang, a province of Central Bhutan. Maybe for the next Photography Tour of Bhutan I will concentrate more on landscape?
