I am not a portrait/event photographer, so it took me a while to capture a moment that I thought was both unguarded and (I hope he agrees) fairly flattering:
After that -- since I was shooting just for fun -- I tried to record the details that people tend to miss while photographing these types of events:
Sometimes the best memories are not those captured in a photographic print, but those you keep in your heart and mind. I had the opportunity to ask (and have answered) questions related to my volunteer work at the prison and I will always remember how Lama Surya Das took the time to make each and every person who came to hear him today feel special as he signed books for them.
