Tibetan Monk
Uploaded: May 02, 2007
This photo was taken in a Tibetan Monastery that recently reopened after years of being shut down by the communist government. To me, this photo represents all that I love about the Tibetan people and their beautiful culture as a whole. Even after all the recent hardships, religious persecution, loss of freedoms, and death they have faced as a result of the Chinese occupation, they still live their lives with compassion, pride, and most of all, with a smile on their face.
Settings used: F/2.8, 1/50 sec, ISO 64

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
