A Venerable Novice

2008.09.23

Don't ask me why the shot is BLUR... I did not do anything. It's original. My hand shakes a little bit while taking this shot. lol. WELCOME AUSPICIOUS OCTOBER...

Friends:

It was 6 Sep 2008. I eccentrically woke up so early in the morning. So, I went out to the balcony to have some breezing air. Saw this little monk (novice) walking on the street and pursuing his daily alms receiving. I immediately rushed into the house and grabbed my camera.

I am submitting this post in dedication to the auspicious month of OCTOBER. Being a typical Buddhist, OCTOBER is an auspicious month for us. Full moon day of THADINGYUT (a Myanmar lunar month) is regarded as an important day for all Buddhists. I am not a fanatic Buddhist, however I do believe in Lord Buddha. So, this post is a sincere homage to Lord Buddha and a warm welcome to the auspicious month of OCTOBER.

great October for us all! :)

Anothr idea I just had. Have you edited this photo yet? Sharpening may help a bit more, saturating the color of clothing and take out cars on top of photo. Still I can see what you're trying to convey.
