It was my second day in the wats of Angkor and I was back to explore the edges of the vast complex. One turn and another, a room within a room, I quickly became lost, which is altogether a great thing in these sorts of situations. Even better, as those of you that know me already understand, there was not a single tourist around to ruin the mood out deep in hidden recesses.
I came upon this meditating pilgrim, who had created her own little shrine area where the unexpected Hindu god statues had been absconded from the altar. She continued on, chanting in her particular Brahmanistic offshoot meme that seemed to bring her enough peace to allow me to pass after careful examination.
The second shot below is after I finally made it back outside, I sat down for a rest, and then decided to set up for a timed shot. My mom and sister always like to see more shots of me on the blog… so here you go!

Kind of a random question.
Do you ever plan to set up any kind of photography travel workshop? Hardly a workshop but a group of photographers traveling together to then see how they can learn from one and other? A collaborative maybe. I don’t know the specific wording.
Or have you ever participated in one or more of these?
Love the shot. I feel it displays the importance of the location.

Haha Michael
Scott – I’ve toyed with the idea of organizing a Adventure in Photography Trip to the Galapagos next year some time. Shoot all day, post process all night… good food and adventure… I might make a post some time to see who might be interested!

I know about the request from your mom and sister. I do the same with my son who travels a lot. (Where have you been, what did you see?..and how did you fit in?) You seem to be about his age and very hamdsome too. I learn a lot from your pictures and enjoy them immensely, including the ones above. Thanks much!
