Bhutan, Roadmap of Life

December 5th, 2012

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?
