I took this photo well over a year ago whilst in India. I was in a Buddhist temple that I visit every time I’m in India but as I watched this unknown man walk around it in complete wonderment I began to appreciate it more, as if I was seeing it through his eyes. So when he has stopped for a moment I took this photo to remind myself to wonder more.
The more observant of my readers may have noticed that my blog has had a bit of a facelift. After months of ummming and ahhhing over what I should do with it, I decided to keep the look simple with a few more bells and whistles. You can now not only follow me on twitter but ‘like me’ on facebook all from the comfort of my blog. A lot of new things are about to occur on this blog and its sister, Coffee and Countries Photography, so I throughly advise you to follow and like me.
Not that I’m needy or anything…
I like your photo.
Thank you
Reblogged this on The Three G's.
thanks for the reblog, hope your readers enjoy it!
That’s a nice shot James. I like the light spilling through the doorway. The man seems to be ‘seeing the light’ in every sense.
I like that thinking, thanks. He did walk around like he was heading to the light, almost floating
Wow, love it James. So beautifully thoughtful
Great image and really beautiful narrative!! It’s really nice to read about the photographer’s thoughts while thinking about the scene.
I’ll try and do it more from now on for you
Your Blog looks nice! I am a fan of the simple look as well. I need to play around with the side tools you have.
Excellent photo!
It’s taken me FOREVER to finally agree to one I like so your comments are help confirm my like of it!
so so beautiful
oh and isn’t the title a Jack JOhnson song?
haha it is I’m surprised no one else noticed!
Talks this photograph… I can almost feel the ambience in there… Just I wanted to see the candle side more than the left side… But this is amazing photograph. Thank you dear James Dunn, with my love, nia
Thank you but how do you mean?
Dear James I mean in the photograph the right side you could take more… I hope I can explain… my English not very well…. Just wanted to see more the right side… but this is at least just my humble thıughts… I love candles… You are welcome.
Sorry I understand now. on the right of the candle is a large statue of Buddha
Yes, yes, I guessed this. I don’t know why but I wished to see this right side… Crazy me. 🙂
not crazy don’t worry!
Thank you you are so nice.
I try!
I grinned at your ” Not that I’m needy or anything” remark. No you aren’t…. it’s charming.
aw thats really sweet of you thanks. Glad my neediness comes out as charm, thats a relief!
this is exactly what i mean….. depth, meaningful honest depth
It always surprises me when I end up with something for more deep than I intended, when pencil hits paper it’s hard to stop
so true… and then it becomes a need to not stop!
